La Russie salue la participation énergique de l'Iran aux activités de l'Organisation de coopération de Shanghai (OCS), a déclaré vendredi le vice-ministre russe des Affaires étrangères Alexeï Borodavkine dans une interview à RIA Novosti. L'OCS (créée en 2001) regroupe la Russie, la Chine, le Kazakhstan, le Tadjikistan, le Kirghizstan et l'Ouzbékistan. L'Iran, l'Inde, la Mongolie et le Pakistan ont le statut d'observateurs. La présidence tournante de l'organisation en 2008-2009 est assurée par la Russie. \"Nous nous félicitons de voir Téhéran s'associer activement aux efforts de l'OCS portant sur la lutte antiterroriste, les projets économiques et sur d'autres sphères d'activité de cette organisation qui présentent de l'intérêt pour l'Iran\", a affirmé M. Borodavkine. Les 18 et 19 février, le diplomate russe a mené avec ses collègues iraniens des consultations sur la politique extérieure des deux pays. Selon lui, l'Iran \"utilise de manière efficace les possibilités offertes par le statut d'observateur au sein de l'OCS\". \"En tant que président de l'Organisation de coopération de Shanghai, la Russie étudie des possibilités supplémentaires pour associer davantage les observateurs aux activités de l'OCS. A cet effet, elle envisage de les autoriser à communiquer directement avec les membres permanents, les observateurs et les invités au cours des réunions de l'organisation \", a fait savoir l'interlocuteur de l'agence. Le moratoire sur l'élargissement de l'OCS établi en 2005 est toujours en vigueur. Cependant, la question de sa suppression est actuellement à l'étude. Moscou a engagé des démarches énergiques dans ce sens à l'approche du sommet de l'Organisation les 15 et 16 juin prochains à Ekaterinbourg (Oural). Le 16 février dernier, le ministre iranien des Affaires étrangères, Manouchehr Mottaki, a annoncé que son pays avait l'intention de devenir membre à part entière de l'OCS avant la fin de l'année. M. Borodavkine a rappelé à cette occasion qu'un groupe chargé de concevoir les critères de participation à l'OCS avait été créé dans le cadre de cette organisation. \"Le groupe a récemment tenu sa quatrième réunion. La partie russe a présenté son projet de document énumérant les critères de participation. Ce projet est actuellement examiné par nos partenaires\", a-t-il précisé, ajoutant que Moscou \"continuerait de travailler sur toutes ces questions avec ses partenaires iraniens\".\nenvoyez par e-mail retour à la page d'accueil", "url": "http://www.fr.rian.ru/world/20090220/120234064.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090226111915/http://fr.rian.ru/world/20090220/120234064.html" } ]

However, a few sites might slip through, he said.\nSeveral porn sites were still accessible at the time of writing this article.\n“The work done by Internet service providers [ISPs] to filter porn sites is not easy considering there are 4 million web sites out there,” he said.\nTifatul said ISPs were responsible for the filtering since they acted as gatekeepers connecting individual computers to the Internet.\nIndonesia’s 200 ISPs had agreed to the ministry’s request, he said.\nISPs would suffer no losses by blocking pornographic websites because those sites were not their core business, he said.\n“They mostly deal with communication data, networking between companies and ATMs,” he said.\nThe filters, he said, would be based on keywords entered during searches.\nThe list of porn-related keywords would be updated regularly to adjust to new keywords that previously had no links to porn sites.\n“The eradication of porn will be very dynamic in the future,” he said.\nThe websites blocked, he added, would be those that were “clearly vulgar” containing sexual intercourse, nudity, sexual organs, child prostitution and sexual symbols.\nHowever, Tifatul failed to provide a clear definition of what would be considered “clearly vulgar”.\n“The disputable [definitions] will be our next step to decide upon.”\nWebsites that referred to sex-related words and images, but used them in a scientific and cultural context, would be spared, he said.\n“Of course, certain formulas and analysis will be used in the process.”\nTifatul further said that sanctions would be imposed on individuals distributing pornographic material, whether it was ISPs or individuals.\nThe 1999 Telecommunications Law (which forbids telecommunications operators from violating public decency), the 2008 Information Transaction Law (which bans the distribution of pornographic material) and the 2008 Pornography Law would be applicable, he said.\n“The blocking of certain web sites would continue past Ramadan because the pornography law is permanent, even if it is revoked or amended,” he said\nTifatul said the ban was a necessary step in implementing the pornography and information transaction laws, as well as protecting people from unsuitable content.\n“The negative impact is evident in our society. [Pornographic content] crushes our culture and destroys our children,” he said.\nHowever, many people have expressed doubts about the effectiveness of the blockage given the immense size of the Internet and many tactics to unblock websites.\nDoubts also surfaced on the effectiveness of using keywords as certain words might have more than one meaning or connotation.

This Ramadan hopefully traffic to porn sites can be reduced by more than 90 percent,\" he said.\nSembiring's call follows President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's support for a Web filter, saying in June that his country must not \"stay naked and be crushed by the information technology frenzy.\"\nWith 240 million people making it the world's most populous Muslim-majority country, Indonesia was scandalised in June by the online release of videos apparently showing local celebrities engaging in sex.\nRock singer Nazril Ariel, 28, a divorcee, is still in police custody on pornography charges after his arrest in June.\nAriel appears in separate videos with models and television personalities Luna Maya, 26, also his current girlfriend, and ex-girlfriend Cut Tari, 32.\nBoth women have been questioned but not arrested over the videos.\nA music engineer with the initials \"RJ\" was arrested in July for allegedly uploading the videos to the Internet.\nThe footage, which was widely distributed across the Internet, prompted clerics to issue an edict banning Muslims from watch certain gossip shows on Indonesian television.\nShows which dished out intimate details of people's private lives were immoral and threatened society, said the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI).\nGossip shows should be allowed only if they \"uphold the law, warn the public and help people,\" said MUI chairman Maaruf Amin, who hoped that \"pornography and immoral content\" would be kept out of all TV programmes during Ramadan.\n\"Hopefully, Ramadan will set a momentum for the media to clean up their programmes and keep them free of pornography and filth. If we can't wipe them out totally, at least minimise them,\" he told AFP.\nFreelance magazine photographer Ahmad Fadilah, 35, who admitted to watching Internet porn occasionally, said hoped access will restricted only to hardcore porn sites such as those showing bestiality and unnatural sex.\n\"Go ahead and block the really vulgar and disgusting ones but please leave the beautiful, artistic ones alone. Anyway, if sites are blocked, there are other ways to access porn, like from VCD,\" Fadilah said.\n\"Sometimes people like to say Ramadan is a month to cleanse your heart and mind.

On Tuesday, the eve of Islam’s holiest month, various officials separately announced bans on pornographic sites, prostitutes and firecrackers — things that can distract Muslims from faithfully observing Ramadan in peace.\nNo Offensive Sites\nFollowing up on his promise of a porn-free Ramadan, Communication and Information Technology Minister Tifatul Sembiring said he was confident that 80 percent of all “offensive sites” on the Internet in Indonesia were now inaccessible, including some of the most popular: Playboy.com, 17tahun.us, youporn.com, porn.com and comicmuhammad.blogspot.com.\n“These five top-rated Web sites were just taken as samples, but we estimate that qualitatively we have banned 80 percent of offensive sites,” Tifatul said.\nHe added that the sites were chosen based on lists of most accessed sites on the ministry’s filtering system as well as those on Alexa.com, which ranks Web site visits.\nThe ministry worked with major Internet service providers Telkom, Bakrie Telkom, XL Axiata, Indosat, IndosatM2 and Telkomsel to block the sites the government deemed offensive.\nTifatul acknowledged that the government would not be able to immediately impose a complete ban on Internet pornography, but added that online filtering was an ongoing and dynamic process.\nHe said the ministry would adopt the same approach used by YouTube, which involves constantly monitoring offensive content which, when discovered, is immediately removed.\nThe same method will also be used in the future to filter out other offensive sites related to blasphemy, gambling, online fraud and violence, Tifatul said. “But we are focusing on the pornographic [sites] first.”\nHe emphasized that the ban had a strong legal basis, citing the 1999 Telecommunications Law, the 2008 Information and Electronic Transaction Law (ITE) and the 2008 Anti-Pornography Law.\n“The definition of pornography is not debatable anymore” since the Constitutional Court overturned a judicial review of the Anti-Pornography Law, Titaful added.\nNo Prostitutes\nIn Surabaya, Dolly, one of Southeast Asia’s largest red-light districts, is now quiet, with brothel doors bearing signs saying “Closed for Ramadan.”\nSawahan Police Chief Adj. Comr. Widodo said the prostitutes working in Dolly had all returned to their hometowns following a city regulation that mandated brothels close up shop throughout the fasting month.\nAsmiani, a staff member at Jaya Indah, told Detik.com that the brothel’s seven prostitutes would return to work a week after Idul Fitri celebrations on Sept. 10 and 11.\nThe signs went up the same day hard-line Muslim groups under the banner of the Islamic Believers Union (GUIB) conducted a sweep of the district. About 350 members of the group raided brothels in three popular areas in Surabaya, but all they found were locked doors and empty streets.\nStill, they threatened to attack prostitution dens and other entertainment businesses that did not respect the Islamic holy month.\n“If they do not respect Ramadan, they will be attacked,” said Habib Muhammad Mahdi Al Habsyi, the head of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) in Surabaya.\nThe FPI is one of the 32 organizations that make up GUIB.\nZulkarnain, the spokesman for East Java’s hard-line Jamaah Ansharut Tauhid, denied members of the group were terrorizing the area, saying they were only out to remind people to abstain from immoral acts.\n“Please understand that this is a reaction to immoral activities legalized by the city administration. We are just spreading the message,” Zulkarnain said. “But if they keep operating during Ramadan, do not blame us if we attack them, as they are the ones who conduct moral terror.”\nBambang Budiono, the head of the Human Rights Study Center at Airlangga University, condemned the group’s actions, which he said were equivalent to “spreading terror in the name of Ramadan.”\nNo Firecrackers\nMeanwhile in Jakarta, Governor Fauzi Bowo forbade the use of firecrackers during Ramadan after a car carrying 70 kilograms of fireworks exploded in Pluit, North Jakarta, injuring four.\n“Every year people are victimized by incidents involving fireworks. Some of them suffer burns or even amputations,” he said. “These [incidents] force me to tighten law enforcement.”\nPenjaringan Police Chief Comr. Lalu M Ichwan said the four injured when a Daihatsu Zebra pickup truck exploded at noon on Tuesday were employees of Toyindo Perkasa, which owned the fireworks.\nJakarta Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Boy Rafli Amar said the fireworks were already expired and were meant to be destroyed in a nearby lake. “Those fireworks were already past their expiration dates,” Boy said.\nLalu said the person in charge of getting rid of the fireworks would be questioned, as well as the victims once they recovered.", "url": "http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/ban-on-porn-prostitutes-fireworks-promises-a-quiet-start-to-ramadan/390561", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100816124340/http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/ban-on-porn-prostitutes-fireworks-promises-a-quiet-start-to-ramadan/390561" }, { "language": "id", "title": "Penertiban situs porno di Indonesia", "text": "Sehari menjelang memasuki bulan puasa (Selasa, 10/8), Kementrian Komunikasi dan Informasi mengumumkan rangkaian upaya pemblokiran situs porno di Indonesia yang ditempuh selama ini.\nDalam sebulan terakhir, menurut Menteri Kominfo Tifatul Sembiring, sudah sekitar 70% dari sekitar empat jutaan situs porno Indonesia yang diblokir dengan bantuan penyedia layanan koneksi internet swasta.\nUntuk melihat materi ini, JavaScript harus dinyalakan dan Flash terbaru harus dipasang.

But the paper I published really set off some movement in this area. It never hit the level of seriousness which it has taken in the past months. It may have had to do with the Nobel Prize, but I hope that's not all,\" Crutzen said.\nSome critics say the project is too risky and will have negative effects on the earth's water supply and increase acid rain.\nCrutzen said it was necessary to study the negative consequences, but he did not expect a rise in acid rain because the amount of sulfur injected would be a small percentage of the sulfates polluting the lower atmosphere today.\nSome environmental groups, wary of geo-engineering projects, say the idea should at least be looked at.\n\"The fact that the top experts in the field are saying it's necessary shows it's a sad state of affairs,\" said Steve Sawyer, a policy adviser for Greenpeace International.\n\"This idea should be examined and as a last resort it can buy us a few decades,\" Sawyer said.\nReuters", "url": "http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/greenhouse-effect-can-be-fixed-by-sulfur-says-scientist/2006/12/17/1166162368959.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20070629223806/http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/greenhouse-effect-can-be-fixed-by-sulfur-says-scientist/2006/12/17/1166162368959.html" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Would giant canons bombarding the atmosphere with sulfur actually counter greenhouse effect?", "text": "Would giant canons bombarding the atmosphere with sulfur actually counter greenhouse effect? By Zafrir Rinat Professor Paul J. Krutzen's ideas may sound like science fiction, but he says they could save the world from global warming. He suggests building gargantuan cannons that would shoot enormous quantities of sulfur into the stratosphere, thereby blocking solar radiation. The 1995 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry will arrive in Israel this week, and tomorrow will present his revolutionary scheme in a conference on global warning at Tel Aviv University's Porter School of Environmental Studies. Other research on the topic will also be presented at the conference.\nThe Dutch-born Krutzen maintains that there is dwindling hope that humanity will cope with global warming through reduction of greenhouse gases, because of a lack of desire or ability on the part of the world's nations to undertake the necessary measures. Hence, he suggests employing geo-engineering methods to cool the planet, including injection substances into the atmosphere that would reflect solar radiation back into space.\nA few months ago, Krutzen published an article that echoed throughout the scientific world, in which he proposed the option of introducing billions of tons of sulfate particles into the stratosphere by means of giant balloons or cannons. The advantage of direct injection into the stratosphere is that in that upper layer of atmosphere, the half-life of sulfur is one to two years, rather than a week, as at lower levels.\nAdvertisement Unlike the gases that produce global warming, particles of substances like sulfur reflect the sun's radiation, contributing to a cooling process. This phenomenon is commonly illustrated following a volcanic eruption, when enormous quantities of sulfur are emitted, causing a decrease in temperatures. Krutzen cites Mt. Pinatubo, in the Philippines. When the volcano erupted, in 1991, it expelled enormous quantities of sulfur-containing compounds. Scientific estimates are that these emissions pushed down the average temperature on earth by half a degree, Celsius, over the course of a year.\nAn American laboratory recently conducted the first examination of sulfur's ability to reflect solar radiation. But a long series of experiments and research will be required to examine Krutzen's suggestions.\nOne negative aspect of Krutzen's scheme could be its effect on human health. In recent years, sulfur emissions from industrial sources were consciously reduced because of the health risk they pose. Paradoxically, the health benefits of those measures were accompanied by an increased greenhouse effect, because reducing the level of sulfur in the atmosphere led to an increase in the sun's radiation that got through.\nKrutzen expresses a great deal of pessimism regarding humanity's ability to reduce its production of greenhouse gases. Still he stresses that his scheme is not intended to take the place of trying to reduce them. Rather, he sees his concept becoming vital if global warming becomes worse within a short period of time, a scenario that certainly is possible.", "url": "http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/800233.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20070509105841/http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/800233.html" } ]

[ { "language": "en", "title": "CURRENT FUEL TAXES", "text": "CURRENT FUEL TAXES Introduction Good public policy requires above all else certainty and consistency from Government in its treatment of fuel taxation. Any change in Government transport or fuel policies including fuel taxation has the potential to change the road transport fuel mix. Investments, both on the supply side by industry and the demand side by consumers (eg LPG conversion of vehicles), have been put in place with the current regime in mind. Fuel production investments are long term and hence any changes likely to impact on the fuel mix should be given appropriate advance warning. Major refinery investment is usually undertaken with a 10-15 year time frame in mind. Concessions Currently, concessions to certain groups in the community are delivered through a mix of excise exemptions on the collection side and grants or rebates on the payment side after tax has been collected. Excise exemptions for fuels on the basis of different use (eg heating oil) provides an incentive for unscrupulous operators to substitute the lower taxed fuel (heating oil) for a higher taxed fuel (diesel for use in internal combustion engines). This leads to a revenue loss for the Federal Government and a loss to legitimate stakeholders in the industry through unfair competition depressing margins by driving down the price in the areas where fuel substitution is taking place. The industry’s view is that revenue loss for Government and industry is significant. A solution to this issue is to tax like fuels on a uniform basis. That is, diesel and heating oil and other like fuels would all be taxed at the same rate. Any concessions to be delivered to farmers, miners, or the trucking industry should then be delivered through a grant system. A grants-based system also strengthens the compliance ability of the ATO because the taxation system is based on the use to which fuels are put. Simply put, burner applications are generally taxed at a lower rate than internal combustion engine use, with specific exceptions being agriculture, mining and certain trucking applications. In a grant-based system consumers are asked to sign a form indicating that they have used the fuel in the appropriate way in order to be eligible for a grant or rebate. This makes it much easier for the ATO to pursue those who have not complied. In the case of petrol, like fuels would be petrol, toluene, solvents and all substances with a flash point of less than 23 degrees Celsius. To summarise, a fuel tax system with uniform tax rates removes the incentive to substitute the lower taxed fuel for the higher taxed fuel. In addition a grants-based system provides government with information on the value of its support for fuels with concessions. It is also much easier to pursue consumers which illegally avoid paying excise if they are required to sign a form to signify what use they will put the fuel. If the fuel is incorrectly used and thereby legitimate excise is avoided then prosecutions are much easier to pursue than if an excise exemption system was in place and consumers did not have to sign off on what use they would put the fuel. Past 'Fuel Policy' The tax free status of most alternative fuels has developed by default because of the way that the excise legislation was drafted. That is, if a new fuel is marketed, it is outside the taxation regime because it is not listed as a taxable item. Although, two of the alternative fuels, ethanol and LPG have attained a tax free status due to specific Government decisions. LPG and ethanol were given tax free status in the 1970s in order to encourage the diversification of transport fuels at a time when security of liquid fuels was an important issue for Governments due to OPEC’s attempts to raise crude oil prices leading to the two oil price shocks in 1973-74 (leading to the formation of the International Energy Agency) and 1979-80. More recent government initiatives to encourage certain fuels through grants (Diesel and Alternative Fuels Grants) arose out of concern for the impact of the GST on the relativities between diesel and alternative fuels. These policies led to a road transport fuel mix in 1989-90 of 62% petrol, 36% diesel and 2% LPG. There was no road transport consumption of ethanol or CNG at that time. By 1999-00 the road transport fuel market share of petrol had fallen to 55%, diesel had grown to 39% and LPG had reached 6% - see the chart below: Current Tax Rates for Transport Fuels are: EXCISE Cents Per Litre Petrol (including regular unleaded, premium unleaded, and lead replacement petrol) 38.143 Diesel 38.143 Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) 0 Ethanol (even if blended with petrol or diesel) 0 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) 0 Biodiesel (100% ie unblended) 0 Biodiesel (if blended with conventional diesel) 38.143 GST Add 10% to the price of all of the above fuels.", "url": "http://www.aip.com.au/pricing/taxes.htm", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20020912025315/http://www.aip.com.au/pricing/taxes.htm" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Renewable Remote Power Generation Program (RRPGP)", "text": "Home > Energy and transport > Renewable energy Renewable Remote Power Generation Program (RRPGP) Supporting the use of renewable energy for remote power generation In those areas of Australia not serviced by a main electricity grid, electricity generated from renewable sources is often an effective way of reducing reliance on diesel for electricity generation. The Renewable Remote Power Generation Program (RRPGP) provides financial support to increase the use of renewable energy generation in remote parts of Australia that presently rely on diesel for electricity generation. The objective of the RRPGP is to increase the uptake of renewable energy technologies in remote areas of Australia, which will: help in providing an effective electricity supply to remote users; assist the development of the Australian renewable energy industry; help meet the energy infrastructure needs of indigenous communities; and lead to long term greenhouse gas reductions. Up to $264 million will be available over the life of the RRPGP. Program funds are now available to participating States and Territories and are allocated on the basis of the relevant diesel fuel excise paid in each State or Territory by public generators in financial years 2000/01 to 2003/4. The certified amounts of relevant diesel fuel excise paid in 2000/01 are shown below: Western Australia $24.43 million Northern Territory $11.80 million Queensland $ 9.05 million South Australia $ 2.55 million Tasmania $ 1.59 million New South Wales $ 0.28 million Total $49.70 million The funds are available to the participating States and the Northern Territory to fund approved programs or projects. Potentially eligible installations are those for which renewable energy generation replaces all or some of the diesel used for off-grid electricity generation. RRPGP funding may also be available for new off-grid installations where it can be demonstrated that the energy source would otherwise have been diesel. The RRPGP may provide support for up to 50% of the capital costs of renewable energy installations. Capital costs encompass expenditure on: Renewable energy generating equipment such as photovoltaic arrays, wind turbines and hydro units; Enabling equipment (equipment necessary to make useable electricity available from the renewable energy generating equipment such as inverters, control and monitoring equipment and batteries); and Essential non-equipment requirements such as installation, design and project management costs.

September 2014 Forscher der Universität Hildesheim fordern: Fachkräfte zum Thema Missbrauch fortbilden Missbrauchsfälle in Internaten, kirchlichen Einrichtungen und in der Kinder- und Jugendarbeit haben die Öffentlichkeit erschüttert. Forscher der Universität Hildesheim fordern, das Thema stärker in der Aus- und Fortbildung von pädagogischen Fachkräften zu verankern.\nBild : PublicDomainPictures / pixabay.com\nDer Umgang mit sexuellem Missbrauch werde nach wie vor zu wenig in der Aus- und Fortbildung von pädagogischen Fachkräften und Lehrkräften thematisiert, kritisiert Meike Sophia Baader, Professorin für Erziehungswissenschaft. Seit 2010 bietet sie an der Universität Hildesheim regelmäßig Lehrveranstaltungen zum Thema an. „Sexualisierte Gewalt war in pädagogischen Einrichtungen bis zum öffentlichen Bekanntwerden von Missbrauchsvorfällen in pädagogischen Institutionen 2010 mit einem Tabu versehen. Derzeit ist es eher mit Angst und Verunsicherung verbunden, wie Forschungsergebnisse zum Umgang von pädagogischen Einrichtungen mit der Thematik zeigen“, sagt Baader.\nEinige pädagogische Organisationen und Institutionen übernehmen eine Verantwortung für das Thema. Sie entwickeln Schutzkonzepte, die Verfahrensregeln enthalten, wie Lehr- und andere pädagogische Fachkräfte bei Verdachtsfällen vorgehen, an welche Expertinnen und Experten sie sich wenden, wer vor Ort Ansprechpartner für Betroffene ist und wie und wann das Lehrerkollegium, Fachkräfte, Eltern sowie Mitschüler und Mitschülerinnen informiert werden sollten. Doch ein solches Vorgehen ist bislang kaum flächendeckend der Fall, sagt Professorin Baader.\nErgebnisse aus einer Recherche zum Umgang mit sexualisierter Gewalt in pädagogischen Einrichtungen zeigen, dass vor allem Schulen sich schwer tun, während das Thema in Kindertageseinrichtungen und Heimen eher angekommen ist. „In den Schulen wird das Thema gerne an die Sozialpädagogik delegiert“, so Baader. Sie hat in der Ethikkommission „Nähe und Distanz in pädagogischen Beziehungen“ der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Erziehungswissenschaft mitgewirkt, die 2010 eingerichtet wurde.\nAktuelle Forschungsarbeiten zum Thema\nLehrveranstaltungen, die das Institut für Erziehungswissenschaft an der Hildesheimer Universität zur sexualisierten Gewalt durchführt, werden von Studierenden stark nachgefragt. Mehrere Forschungsarbeiten entstehen. So hat die Studentin Lisa Quasthoff in ihrer erziehungswissenschaftlichen Master-Abschlussarbeit aktuelle Vorfälle in pädagogischen Institutionen und die Bedingungen in zwei Internatsschulen miteinander verglichen. Pauline Karch hat präventive Projekte in Kindertageseinrichtungen untersucht. „Prävention beginnt im Erziehungsalltag. Kinder müssen darin gestärkt werden, Nein zu sagen und lernen, was Geheimnisse und Grenzen sind und wo sie sofort Hilfe erhalten. Ein einmaliges Projekt nur für Kinder reicht nicht, kein Kind kann sich selber schützen. Die Erwachsenen müssen mit ins Boot geholt werden“, sagt Karch. Claudia Bowe-Traeger befasste sich damit, wie die katholischen Kirche mit dem Thema umgeht und Henrike Niedermeyer fragt in ihrer Bachelor-Arbeit nach den Anforderungen an pädagogische Professionalität. Außerdem sind mehrere Promotionen entstanden. Julia Gebrande, inzwischen Professorin an der Hochschule Esslingen, hat ihre Promotion „Handlungskompetenz zur Unterstützung von Kindern mit sexualisierter Gewalterfahrung. Bedarfsanalyse von pädagogischen Fachkräften in Kindertageseinrichtungen“ abgeschlossen. Christin Sager, Mitarbeiterin in der Abteilung Allgemeine Erziehungswissenschaft hat eine Dissertation zur „Geschichte der Sexualaufklärung“ verfasst. Derzeit entsteht eine weitere Dissertation zu „Schutzkonzepten und Frühen Hilfen“ von Anne-Kathrin Grebenstein.\nNiedersachen richtet erste Anlaufstelle für Opfer ein\nNiedersachsen hat als erstes Bundesland vor zwei Jahren (August 2012) eine Anlaufstelle für Opfer und Fragen sexuellen Missbrauchs und Diskriminierungen in Schulen eingerichtet, die telefonisch an vier Tagen in der Woche erreichbar ist (www.mk.niedersachsen.de). Die Anrufer, darunter Lehrer, Schüler und Eltern, hatten allgemeine Fragen zu sexuellem Missbrauch, Mobbing, Cybermobbing und Diskriminierung. Meike Baader unterstreicht die Bedeutung von regionalen Beratungsstellen. „Sie können für Betroffene vor Ort schnell und einfach erreichbare Anlaufstellen sein, wo sie ihre Fragen und Sorgen in einem geschützten Rahmen mitteilen können.“\nForschungs- und Handlungsbedarf sieht Baader in der Frage der Betroffenheit von Jungen durch sexualisierte Gewalt, aber auch in der Problematik eines „Generalverdachts“ gegen männliche Fachkräfte in Kindertageseinrichtungen. Beratungseinrichtungen sind jedoch aufgrund ihrer historischen Entstehung häufig auf die Beratung von Mädchen und Frauen spezialisiert. Während Mädchen in der Familie und im persönlichen Nahraum stärker sexualisierte Gewalt erleiden, sind Jungen in den pädagogischen Einrichtungen stärker betroffen.\nForschungsverbund arbeitet an einer Verbesserung von Schutzkonzepten in pädagogischen Organisationen\nWeitere Forscher der Universität Hildesheim arbeiten in diesem Themenfeld, darunter ein Team um den Sozialpädagogen Professor Wolfgang Schröer. Was macht ein sicheres Umfeld aus? Derzeit läuft eine bundesweite Untersuchung: In dem dreijährigen Forschungsprojekt „Ich bin sicher! Schutzkonzepte aus der Sicht von Jugendlichen und Betreuungspersonen\" befragen Wissenschaftler seit Sommer 2014 Kinder und Jugendliche im Alter von 14 bis 18 Jahren sowie Betreuungspersonen bundesweit. In dem Forschungsprojekt stehen die Bedürfnisse und Sichtweisen der Kinder und Jugendlichen im Mittelpunkt. Die Forscher der Universität Hildesheim, der Hochschule Landshut und der Ulmer Universitätsklinik für Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie/Psychotherapie fragen Jugendliche, was ein sicheres Leben in stationären Erziehungshilfen, Internaten und Kliniken ausmacht, was Einrichtungen hierfür tun können und wie sie ihre aktuelle Situation einschätzen. Von den Betreuungspersonen möchte das Forschungsteam erfahren, welche Voraussetzungen und Hinderungsgründe sie erleben und wie sie im Alltag handeln, um Kindern und Jugendlichen in ihren Einrichtungen ein sicheres Leben zu ermöglichen. „Wir wollen von den Kindern und Jugendlichen erfahren, wie Wohngruppen, Internate und Kliniken beschaffen sein müssen, damit sie sich dort zuhause, wohl und sicher fühlen\", sagt Tanja Rusack, wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Sozial- und Organisationspädagogik der Universität Hildesheim.\nMithilfe der Ergebnisse will der Forschungsverbund zur Verbesserung von Schutzkonzepten in pädagogischen Organisationen beitragen. Das Forschungsprojekt wird mit 694.000 Euro vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung in der Förderlinie „Sexuelle Gewalt in pädagogischen Kontexten“ unterstützt. Der Forschungsverbund erhebt die Daten in Online-Befragungen und Gruppendiskussionen mit Fachkräften, Kindern und Jugendlichen. Jugendliche zwischen 14 und 18 Jahren sowie Betreuungspersonen aus stationären Einrichtungen können bis Mitte November 2014 an der Online-Befragung teilnehmen (www.projekt-ichbinsicher.de). Die Daten im Online-Fragebogen werden anonym erhoben.\nKonferenz „Entgrenzung“\n40 Fachleute unter anderem aus den USA, Dänemark, Tschechien, Großbritannien und Deutschland tagen vom 29. September bis 1. Oktober 2014 an der Universität Hildesheim. Auf der internationalen Tagung „Zwischen notwendiger Enttabuisierung und problematischer Entgrenzung. Sexuelle Revolution und Kindheit im historischen Kontext der 1970/80er\" geht es um historische Perspektiven, Recht, Politik und Medien, Kindheit, Sexualität und Erziehung; um Politik-, Erziehungs- und Zeitgeschichte. Veranstaltet wird die Konferenz von Forschern der Universitäten Hildesheim, Trier und Frankfurt am Main.

The Washington Post reported that Johnson was undergoing surgery.\nJohnson, who turns 60 on Dec. 28, was admitted to George Washington University Hospital, said Julianne Fisher, Johnson's communications director. The illness was initially thought to be a stroke.\nStory continues below ↓ advertisement advertisement\nFisher later said, however, that Johnson did not suffer a stroke or heart attack. Other sources, said Johnson had.\nIn a statement late Wednesday, Fisher said, \"Senator Johnson continues to undergo testing and procedures at George Washington University Hospital. We expect to have more information in the morning.\"\nAdmiral John Eisold, attending physician of the U.S. Capitol, issued a statement saying Johnson was admitted to the hospital \"with the symptoms of a stroke.\"\nWhile many on Capitol Hill voiced frustration about the lack of immediate information, aides noted the senator promptly received medical attention after feeling ill earlier in the day.\n\"He has great doctors looking after him,\" one aide said.\nJohnson became disoriented during a conference call with reporters at midday Wednesday, stuttering in response to a question. He appeared to recover, asking if there were any additional questions before ending the call.\nFisher said he walked back to his Capitol office after the call with reporters but appeared to not be feeling well. The Capitol physician was called, and Johnson was taken by ambulance to George Washington University Hospital for evaluation.\nA statement released by Johnson's office then said, in part, \"At this stage, he is undergoing a comprehensive evaluation by the stroke team. Further details will be forthcoming when more is known.\"\nFilling a vacated Senate seat\nDemocrats won a 51-49 majority in the November election. South Dakota’s Republican governor, Mike Rounds, would appoint a replacement to serve until the 2008 election should Johnson die or resign.\nThe appointment would last until the next general election — in this case, 2008. Johnson's term expires that year.\nThe 17th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution says state legislatures can give their governors the power to appoint someone else to take over, but only in the case of \"vacancies.\"\nWhat's a vacancy? Clearly death or resignation, but history suggests not much else. Serious illness doesn't count.\nUnder the rules of the Senate, tie votes are settled by the vote of the vice president — currently Republican Dick Cheney — effectively giving control of the Senate to the Republicans.\nPrevious cases\nThe Senate historian's office cites several examples of a senator being incapacitated for years and remaining in office.\nMost recently, Sen. Karl Mundt (coincidentally, also from South Dakota) suffered a stroke in 1969 and was incapacitated, but he refused to step down. He remained in office until January 1973, when his term expired. Mundt was pressured repeatedly to step down during his illness, but he demanded that the governor promise to appoint his wife. The governor refused, and Mundt remained in office.\nAnother example was Sen. Carter Glass, D-Va. Glass had a heart condition that prevented him from working for most of his last term after his re-election in 1942. Yet Glass refused to resign, and finally died of congestive heart failure in May 1946, in his apartment at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington.\nThe Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.", "url": "http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16191212/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20061214102514/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16191212/" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Staff: Senator hospitalized with stroke-like symptoms", "text": "Adjust font size:\nWASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen.

Tim Johnson. Today show\nJohnson's condition, also known as AVM, or arteriovenous malformation, causes arteries and veins to grow abnormally large and become tangled.\nThe condition is believed to affect about 300,000 Americans, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. The institute's Web site said only about 12 percent of the people with the condition experience symptoms, ranging in severity. It kills about 3,000 people a year.\nThe senator's wife, Barbara Johnson, said the family \"is encouraged and optimistic.\"\nIn a statement from Johnson's office Thursday, she said her family was \"grateful for the prayers and good wishes of friends, supporters and South Dakotans.\"\nA person familiar with Johnson's situation said surgery began late Wednesday night and ended around 12:30 a.m. Thursday and that the next 24 to 48 hours would be critical in determining Johnson's condition. The person spoke on condition of anonymity out of respect for the senator's family.\nIf Johnson were forced to relinquish his seat, a replacement would be named by South Dakota's GOP Gov. Mike Rounds.\nA Republican appointee would create a 50-50 tie, and allow the GOP to retain Senate control.\nHowever, Senate historian Don Ritchie said senators serve out their terms unless they resign or die. Nine senators have remained in the Senate even though illnesses kept them away from the chamber for six months or more.\nRounds' press secretary, Mark Johnston, said Thursday the governor had nothing new to say. \"We're watching as much as everyone else,\" he said.\nThe governor, elected to a second four-year term last month, has been widely seen as the Republican candidate with the best chance to challenge Johnson in two years.\nOther than Rounds himself, top possibilities if a replacement senator were needed include Lt. Gov. Dennis Daugaard and state Public Utilities Commission Chairman Dusty Johnson, considered a rising star in the Republican Party. Retiring GOP legislative leaders, such as state House Speaker Matthew Michels and Senate Majority Leader Eric Bogue, also might be considered.\nJohnson, who turns 60 later this month, was admitted to George Washington University hospital at midday after experiencing what his office initially said was a possible stroke.\nHis spokeswoman, Julianne Fisher, later told reporters that it had been determined that the senator had suffered neither a stroke nor a heart attack.\nFisher said that after making the conference call with reporters from the recording studio in the basement of the Capitol, he then walked back to his office but appeared to not be feeling well. The Capitol physician came to his office and examined him, and it was decided he should go to the hospital.\nHe was taken to the hospital by ambulance around noon, Fisher said. \"It was caught very early,\" she said.\nA brain specialist not involved with Johnson's care said there's no way to know until Johnson is awake and able to answer questions how much lingering damage, if any, the bleeding may have caused. Still, while he'll remain in intensive care for a while, \"he has every chance of recovery,\" said Dr. William Bank, who treats AVM and other neurovascular disorders at Washington Hospital Center.\nPolitical ramifications\nJohnson is up for re-election in 2008.\nIn 1969, another South Dakota senator, Karl Mundt, a Republican, suffered a stroke while in office. Mundt continued to serve until the end of his term in January 1973, although he was unable to attend Senate sessions and was stripped of his committee assignments by the Senate Republican Conference in 1972.\nJohnson, who was elected in 1996, holds the same seat previously held by Mundt.\nSouth Dakota Secretary of State Chris Nelson said there were no special restrictions on an appointment by the governor and a replacement would not have to be from the same political party.\nThe Senate last convened with a perfect balance of 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats in January 2001. Then, the two parties struck a power-sharing agreement that gave control of the Senate to Republicans but gave Democrats equal representation on committees.\nThat arrangement lasted only until June 2001, when Vermont Republican James Jeffords became an independent who chose to vote with Democrats on organizational matters, giving Democrats control until Republicans won back the Senate in the 2002 midterm elections.\nJohnson, a centrist Democrat, was first elected to the Senate in 1996 after serving 10 years in the House. He narrowly defeated Republican John Thune in his 2002 re-election bid. Thune defeated Sen. Tom Daschle, the former Senate Democratic leader, two years later.\nJohnson is in line to become chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee.\nHe underwent prostate cancer treatment in 2004, and subsequent tests have shown him to be clear of the disease.\nJohnson is the second senator to become ill after the Nov. 7 election. Wyoming Sen. Craig Thomas, a Republican, was diagnosed with leukemia on Election Day. He is back at work.\n© 2006 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

The act requires that goods shipped between U.S. ports be carried by ships built and operated by Americans, or be subject to tariffs and fees.\n\"We believe that extending the waiver is unnecessary to support the humanitarian relief efforts on the island,\" Homeland Security Press Secretary David Lapan wrote. \"There is an ample supply of Jones Act-qualified vessels to ensure that cargo is able to reach Puerto Rico.\"\nThat said, DHS said it will review requests for individual ships on a case-by-case basis and will \"respond quickly if a non-Jones Act qualified vessel is needed for a 'national defense'-related need.\"\nSo far, says DHS, \"14 vessels notified us and three have completed their movements.\" Under the waiver, they will still have until Oct. 18 to complete their deliveries. Just one of the vessels is under contract with FEMA, while most of the humanitarian relief supplies are being delivered by DHS, FEMA and DOD ships, or ships eligible under the Jones Act.\nThe administration had announced on Sept. 28 that the Jones Act would be waived for the island, which suffered enormous damage from Hurricane Maria. DHS had faced pressure from lawmakers including Sens. John McCain and Marco Rubio to waive the act in order to speed up the shipment of aid to Puerto Rico. However, CBS News' Major Garrett pointed out that the problem may not have been supply -- given that thousands of shipping containers filled with medicine, food and construction equipment sat at the ports for days because there were no trucks or truck drivers or open roads to distribute the supplies after the hurricane.", "url": "https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dhs-will-let-jones-act-waiver-for-puerto-rico-expire/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20171010011830/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dhs-will-let-jones-act-waiver-for-puerto-rico-expire/" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Waiver encouraging foreign supply ships to reach Puerto Rico has expired", "text": "Trump’s Jones Act waiver won’t be renewed, Department of Homeland Security confirms, with tariffs once again driving up price of supplies\nA waiver enabling foreign ships to deliver supplies to storm-ravaged Puerto Rico has expired and will not be renewed, it was confirmed on Monday, dealing a fresh blow to the US territory as it struggles to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.\nIn the wake of the hurricane, millions of Americans have been without access to clean water, electricity, fuel and medicines. Donald Trump, who initially came under fire for being slow in his response to the crisis in Puerto Rico, temporarily waived the Jones Act – a 1920 law stating that all goods sent between US ports be carried on ships built, owned and operated by the US – on 28 September.\nBut the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that the waiver expired on Sunday and would not be extended “at this time”, meaning Puerto Rico will once more be subject to restrictions under the act.\nExperts have said the Jones Act has resulted in high tariffs on foreign ships delivering goods to Puerto Rico, doubling the price of consumer goods when compared with neighboring islands that are not subject to the law.\nTrump’s decision to temporarily waive the law, which came amid mounting pressure from local officials in Puerto Rico and the Arizona senator John McCain, had eased the way for foreign ships to deliver crucial supplies, such as food and gasoline, more expeditiously and at a lower cost.\nThe White House did not immediately return a request for comment when asked about the waiver’s expiration.\nPuerto Rico’s governor, Ricardo Rosselló, said on Monday that much of the island remained without basic utilities. Water supplies have been restored to just 60% of Puerto Rico’s residents, while only 15% of people on the island had electricity, three weeks after the hurricane hit.\nThe storm’s death toll rose in recent days to 36, with officials cautioning that dozens of bodies had yet to be included in the government’s count.\nIn a letter to congressional leaders on Monday, Rosselló requested US lawmakers approve roughly $1.4bn in funding to aid recovery efforts. The governor also ordered an investigation into the mishandling of food and water delivery to municipalities amid complaints from some areas that supplies were not being received.\nTrump paid a visit to Puerto Rico last week, where he was criticized for throwing paper towels to survivors and claiming the island should be “proud” of having far fewer deaths than Hurricane Katrina. The president defended his tone in an interview with Trinity Broadcasting Network on Saturday, telling the host and former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee: “I was having fun, they were having fun, they said: ‘Throw them to me, throw them to me, Mr President.’\n“So the next day they said, ‘Oh, it was so disrespectful to the people.’ It was just a made-up thing and also … when I walked in the cheering was incredible.”\nLast week, the Trump administration sought a $29bn funding package from Congress that would be allocated toward areas affected by recent hurricanes, including Puerto Rico, Texas and Florida. The money would also go toward fighting devastation caused by wildfires tearing through California.\nThe House is poised to vote on legislation this week that would meet the request. Some lawmakers, including McCain, have also called on Congress to permanently retire Jones Act restrictions on Puerto Rico. McCain, who has co-sponsored a bill to do so, said Monday the expiration of the waiver made his bill all the more urgent.\n“Now that the temporary Jones Act waiver for Puerto Rico has expired, it is more important than ever for Congress to pass my bill to permanently exempt Puerto Rico from this archaic and burdensome law,” McCain said in a statement to HuffPost. “Until we provide Puerto Rico with long-term relief, the Jones Act will continue to hinder much-needed efforts to help the people of Puerto Rico recover and rebuild from Hurricane Maria.”", "url": "https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/09/jones-act-puerto-rico-expired", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20171009215814/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/09/jones-act-puerto-rico-expired" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Yes, Puerto Rico is part of the United States", "text": "Skip in Skip x Embed x Share CLOSE Hurricane Maria's destruction of Puerto Rico resurfaced a disturbing fact.

(Photo: Ricardo Arduengo, AP)\nThe destruction wrought by Hurricane Maria on the 3.4 million residents of Puerto Rico resurfaced a disturbing fact – many Americans don't know the first thing about the Caribbean island.\nA USA Today/Suffolk University poll conducted in March found that fewer than half of Americans (47%) believe that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by birth.\nThey are.\nInstead, 30% of the people surveyed thought residents of the island are citizens of Puerto Rico. Another 21% just didn't know where the people of Puerto Rico belong.\nThat may help explain why the nation rallied behind the victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Hurricane Irma in Florida, but have not responded in the same way to the victims of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.\n\"What I fear is that the federal government is not stepping up as fully and as quickly as we must,\" Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., whose parents are Puerto Rican, said on the floor of the House of Representatives on Tuesday. \"We need an air lift. We need an effort the scale of Dunkirk. We need the federal government to go all in.\"\nPresident Trump announced Tuesday morning that he will visit the island next week, but confusion remains. So what exactly is Puerto Rico?\nSkip in Skip x Embed x Share CLOSE Puerto Ricans are trying to make contact with relatives and friends after Hurricane Maria knocked out power and telephone services. Hundreds of other residents and tourists packed San Juan Airport on Sunday, which is barely functioning. (Sept. 25) AP\nIt's a U.S. commonwealth\nPuerto Rico first became a U.S. territory following the Spanish-American War, which was ignited by the explosion of the U.S.S. Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898. The war ended with the U.S. acquiring many of Spain's possessions, including Cuba, Guam, the Philippines and Puerto Rico.\nIn 1952, Puerto Ricans adopted a new constitution, which established the current relationship of Puerto Rico as a commonwealth of the United States.\nUnder that arrangement, Puerto Rico shares many similarities to U.S. states. Its residents elect their own legislative assembly, a governor, and a representative to the U.S. House of Representatives. But unlike U.S. states, Puerto Ricans on the island cannot vote in presidential elections, and their representative in the House — known as a resident commissioner — has no vote.\nThe island also has a Federal Affairs Administration, based in Washington, D.C., which represents the island before the federal government, the 50 state governments and U.S. businesses.\nIts residents are U.S. citizens\nIn 1917, the U.S. Congress passed the Jones–Shafroth Act, which grants U.S. citizenship to anyone born on the island.\nAs U.S. citizens, Puerto Ricans can freely travel and move to the U.S. mainland without a passport or a visa. For Puerto Ricans, traveling to the mainland is the same as a New Yorker crossing into New Jersey or flying to Hawaii.\nThousands of Puerto Ricans have taken advantage of that in recent years as the island's finances have crumbled. From 2006 to 2015, about 445,000 left the island for the mainland, more than 10% of the island's population, according to the Puerto Rico Statistics Institute. Most of them live in New York, Florida, and New Jersey.\nAs citizens, Puerto Ricans can also volunteer to serve, or be drafted into, the military. About 18,000 Puerto Ricans served in World War I, 65,000 in World War II, 61,000 in the Korean War, and 48,000 in Vietnam, according to Puerto Rico's former governor Luis Fortuño.\nPuerto Ricans get some, but not all, federal benefits\nAs U.S. citizens, Puerto Ricans receive many of the same financial benefits, and liabilities, of their mainland counterparts. They pay most federal taxes, including payroll, Social Security and Medicare taxes. But they do not pay federal personal income taxes.\nPuerto Ricans receive many, but not all, federal benefits.

Though water continued to pour out of rain-swollen Lake Guajataca, the dam had not burst by Saturday night.\nUpstream of the towns of Quebradillas and Isabela, the state of the dam had prompted stern official warnings from Governor Ricardo Rossello and the US National Weather Service (NWS). Federal officials said Friday that 70,000 people would have to be evacuated, although Javier Jimenez, mayor of the nearby town of San Sebastian, said he believed the number was far smaller. Secretary of Public Affairs Ramon Rosario said about 300 families were in harm’s way.\nThe NWS extended a flash flood watch for communities along the rain-swollen Guajataca River until 2pm local time on Sunday. If the dam failed, the NWS warned, the flooding would be life-threatening. “Stay away or be swept away,” it said.\nThe governor said there was “significant damage” to the dam and authorities believed it could give way at any moment. “We don’t know how long it’s going to hold,” Rossello said. “The integrity of the structure has been compromised in a significant way.”\nSome residents nonetheless returned to their homes on Saturday as water levels in the reservoir began to sink. “There were a lot of people worried and crying, but that’s natural, because the reservoir was about to break through,” said Maria Nieves, 43. “They couldn’t open the spillway until later in the night.”\nThe 345-yard dam, which was built around 1928, holds back a man-made lake covering about two square miles. More than 15in of rain from Maria fell on the surrounding mountains.\nThe aid effort quickened with the opening of the island’s main port in the capital, San Juan, allowing 11 ships to bring in 1.6 million gallons of water, 23,000 cots, dozens of generators and food. Dozens more shipments are expected in upcoming days.\nThe federal aid effort is racing to stem a growing crisis in towns left without water, fuel, electricity or phone service. Officials with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) said they would take satellite phones to all of Puerto Rico’s towns and cities, more than half of which were cut off.\nThe island’s infrastructure was in sorry shape long before Maria struck. A $73bn debt crisis has left agencies like the state power company broke. As a result the power company abandoned most basic maintenance in recent years, leaving the island subject to regular blackouts.\nA federal control board overseeing Puerto Rico’s finances authorized up to $1bn in local funds to be used for hurricane response, but Governor Rossello said he would ask for more.\n“We’re going to request waivers and other mechanisms so Puerto Rico can respond to this crisis,” he said. “Puerto Rico will practically collect no taxes in the next month.”\nPlay Video 0:25 Puerto Rico: dam wall cracks on Lake Guajataca - video\nUS representative Nydia Velazquez of New York said she would request a one-year waiver from the Jones Act, a federal law blamed for driving up prices on Puerto Rico by requiring cargo shipments to move only on US vessels as a means of supporting the US maritime industry.\n“We will use all our resources,” Velazquez said. “We need to make Puerto Rico whole again. These are American citizens.”\nHurricane Maria adds to damage caused by Irma on Turks and Caicos Read more\nRossello said Maria would clearly cost more than the last major storm to hit the island, Hurricane George in September 1998. “This is without a doubt the biggest catastrophe in modern history for Puerto Rico,” he said.\nRossello and other officials praised the federal government for planning its response before the storm hit, a contrast with what Puerto Rico has long seen as the neglect of 3.4 million Americans in a territory without a vote in Congress or the electoral college.\n“This is the first time we get this type of federal coordination,” said Jenniffer Gonzalez, Puerto Rico’s non-voting representative in Washington.\nOfficials said 1,360 of the island’s 1,600 cellphone towers were down, and 85% of above-ground and underground phone and internet cables were knocked out. With roads blocked and phones dead, officials said, the situation may worsen.\nAt least 31 lives in all have been lost around the Caribbean due to Maria, including at least 15 on hard-hit Dominica. Haiti reported three deaths; Guadeloupe two; and the Dominican Republic one.\nAcross Puerto Rico, more than 15,000 people were in shelters, including some 2,000 rescued from the north coastal town of Toa Baja.

Although 97 percent of voters in a Puerto Rico referendum on June 11 voted to start down the path of statehood, the chance of the island becoming a state is still, at best, a long shot. Optimism was the word of the day among supporters of Puerto Rico statehood after this most recent victory, in this high-profile plebiscite. Among revelers waving American flags Sunday night, Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello—the leader of the pro-statehood New Progressive Party—echoed sentiments that the referendum’s message was clear. “The United States of America will have to obey the will of our people!,” he told the crowd. Related Stories The Historical Exclusion Behind the Puerto Rico Bankruptcy Crisis\nTesting Territorial Limits On the mainland, the jubilation continued to reverberate. In a statement on Monday, Congressman José E. Serrano, who was born in Puerto Rico, celebrated the results of the plebiscite and claimed it as final proof that “Congress has a duty to listen and act upon these results so that Puerto Rico can be decolonized once and for all.” That same day, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer acknowledged the vote as a first step, saying “now that the people have spoken in Puerto Rico, this is something that Congress has to address.” To that end, Puerto Rico’s nonvoting Resident Commissioner in the House of Representatives, Jenniffer González, is drafting a statehood bill, and statehood advocates have been making the rounds on the Hill this week imploring Congress to move the matter forward.\nAll that enthusiasm is probably for naught. In reality, Sunday’s vote didn’t actually signal imminent statehood for Puerto Rico, in spite of the huge margin of victory and insistences from proponents that it would force the issue in Congress. In fact, some observers think the resounding victory of statehood might have actually hurt the long-term prospects of the legislative body finally allowing Puerto Rico fully into the Union. “To make a long story short, the prospects are between zero and negative-10 percent,” says Carlos Iván Gorrín Peralta, a professor at the InterAmerican University of Puerto Rico and a territorial-law scholar. At the end of the day, it’s the cynical calculations of politics in Washington that will determine Puerto Rico’s status. Although proponents of statehood sometimes cast the referendum as an automatic trigger for congressional review, the facts are that Congress is not bound by any aspect of the referendum vote on Sunday, and that Puerto Rico’s right to self-determination—while an important theoretical international legal concept and germane to its own territorial constitution—simply does not exist in federal legislative terms. Puerto Rico occupies an uncertain political status, one different from the 37 states added to the original 13 United States by Congress. “All 37 [entry] processes have followed the scheme set out way back in 1787 in the Northwest Ordinance,” says Gorrín. “They were all annexed as part of the United States, designated from that moment to become states eventually.” The landmass of the continental United States, as well as the archipelago of Hawaii and the territory of Alaska, were all added to the U.S. with the legal understanding that they would be eligible to become states, which meant that Congress had clear pathways—including the use of referenda and self-determination—for declaring and granting statehood.", "url": "https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/puerto-rico-statehood-plebiscite-congress/530136/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20170615095530/https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/puerto-rico-statehood-plebiscite-congress/530136/" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Will Puerto Rico Be America’s 51st State?", "text": "ONE of the little-noticed results of the Nov. 6 elections was a plebiscite held in Puerto Rico on the island’s relationship with the United States. The outcome was murky, much like the last century’s worth of political history between Washington and San Juan, and the mainland’s confused or disinterested attitude toward Puerto Rico that abetted it.\nEver since the United States invaded Puerto Rico in 1898 and then was handed the island by Spain as part of the settlement for the Spanish-American War, the island’s people — American citizens since the passage of the Jones Act in 1917 — have been continuously put in situations where they are simultaneously auditioning for statehood, agitating for independence, and making the very best of living in limbo.\nDespite what my name suggests, I am Puerto Rican. I grew up with a mother from the island and a Scots-Irish father in a small town in rural North Carolina, at a time when there were so few Hispanics in the area that my mom liked to go to a Mexican restaurant just to speak some Spanish. That was 20-odd years ago. The local Latino population has grown so much since then that my mom, who retired two years ago, was able to work for a decade as a translator for the local school system.\nI was used to being “discovered” as Puerto Rican. Sometimes when this happened, I’d be called upon to explain things. In fourth grade, that meant being assigned to give the class — half black kids, and half white kids — a show-and-tell presentation on Puerto Rico and its strange status as a self-ruling commonwealth, with its own governor and legislature, the American president as its head of state, but whose residents lack a vote in national presidential elections or voting representation in Congress despite being American citizens.\nI was asked, “Do you eat a lot of tacos?” The answer, “Probably not any more than you do.” I was also asked, by one of the two dark-haired girls that I had a crush on, this one a doctor’s daughter, “Why don’t we just sell it?”\nEven fourth graders can be left speechless. It later occurred to me that I should have answered: “You can’t just sell it. It’s not your beach house!”\nIf Puerto Rico were our beach house, we’d pay more attention to it.\nIt has long been conventional wisdom among many Puerto Ricans that the status quo will hold because neither of the American national parties has decided that converting the island into a state would benefit them politically. Paired with this is the conventional wisdom that the Republican Party doesn’t actually want nearly four million more Hispanic voters, and their corresponding electoral votes, at play in national elections. (Both Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum did pronounce themselves pro-statehood when courting votes — and fund-raising dollars — on the island during last year’s Republican primaries.)\nWhen Spain granted Puerto Rico to the United States in 1898, President William McKinley initiated a project that he defined as “benevolent assimilation” on an island filled with people who already had a strong identity of their own and who, of course, primarily spoke Spanish.\nSome of the same people who had resisted rule by Spain, and who had even achieved an extremely brief autonomy — nine months — for the island before the American Navy’s arrival, continued to resist rule by the United States. Among them was a family member — the poet, journalist and statesman Luis Muñoz Rivera. It was during the Spanish reign that he had written, “Annexionism had always seemed to me absurd, depressing and inconceivable.” Though Mr. Muñoz Rivera continued to make the case for autonomy, he was also essential in the creation of some useful accommodations to American rule, like the Jones Act.", "url": "http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/25/opinion/sunday/will-puerto-rico-be-americas-51st-state.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20121125012447/http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/25/opinion/sunday/will-puerto-rico-be-americas-51st-state.html" } ]

Eine blonde Anwohnerin ein paar Hausnummern weiter schätzt die zurückhaltende Lebensweise Boatengs: „Die wilden Partys machen hier vor allem die normalen Leute, nicht die Prominenten.“ Ein grauhaariger Mann in derselben Straße sagte, er sehe Boateng nicht oft, aber er halte ihn für „ganz nett und auf dem Boden geblieben. Die Kinder gehen auch hier um die Ecke in den Kindergarten. Ganz normal.“ Von Vorbehalten anderer Nachbarn wisse er nichts. Im Getränkemarkt 500 Meter weiter ist man stolz, dass Boateng dort Kunde ist: „Er ist ganz normal. Man würde ihm nicht anmerken, dass er ein Promi ist.“ In der nahegelegenen Tankstelle kennt die Mitarbeiterin Boateng als „ganz coolen Typen“. Er tanke dort und lasse auch sein Auto reparieren. „Hier kommen alle her: Robben, Ribéry... Mit unserem Mechaniker, einem Portugiesen, haben sie sich angefreundet und ihm Karten fürs Pokalfinale in Berlin besorgt.“ In München-Bogenhausen, wo Boateng früher wohnte, wurden zu vermietende Zimmer in WG-Anzeigen mit der Nähe zu Boateng beworben; so hieß es etwa beim Portal „WG gesucht“ über eine Wohnung: „Auf den Weg dorthin kommt man außerdem an der Wohnung des Fußballstars Jerome Boateng vorbei. (nur für die Fußballbegeisterten unter euch).“\n„Es geht um die Abwehr des kulturell Fremden“\nGauland sagte, unter den AfD-Anhängern gebe es die Sorge, „dass eine uns fremde Religion sehr viel prägender ist als unsere abendländische Tradition“. Und diese große Zahl der Fremden komme nun einmal aus Regionen, in denen vor allem Muslime lebten. Boateng ist allerdings nicht Muslim, sondern gläubiger Christ. Auf seinen linken Unterarm hat er die Gottesmutter Maria tätowiert, auf den rechten Oberarm ein Kreuz. „Weil ich Christ bin“, hatte der 27 Jahre alte Fußballer das vor einigen Jahren begründet. „Ich lasse mir nur Tattoos machen, die für mich eine Bedeutung haben.“ Im vergangenen Jahr hatte Boateng in einem Interview mit der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung gesagt, er könne sich vorstellen, Kapitän der Fußball–Nationalmannschaft zu werden. „Als erster farbiger Kapitän wäre das mit Blick auf die Integration auch ein starkes Zeichen nach außen, auf das ich sehr stolz wäre.“\nDas Thema deutscher Nationalspieler mit Migrationshintergrund hatte schon vor einigen Tagen für Aufregung gesorgt. Eine Pegida-Gruppe vom Bodensee beschwerte sich auf Facebook darüber, dass auf der Süßigkeit „Kinderschokolade“ Bilder von farbigen und anderen ausländischen Jungen zu sehen seien. „Vor Nichts wird Halt gemacht“, hatte jemand auf der Seite geschrieben, offensichtlich in Unkenntnis darüber, dass es sich um eine Werbeaktion des Herstellers handelt. Anlässlich der Fußball-EM in Frankreich, die am 10. Juni beginnt, hat der Hersteller Kinderbilder der deutschen Nationalspieler auf der Packung abgebildet, unter anderen die von Mesut Özil, Ilkay Gündogan und Boateng. Die Pegida-Führung distanzierte sich von den Äußerungen der Gruppe.\nAfD-Vize Gauland beleidigt Jerome Boateng. Alexander Gauland: „Die Leute wollen einen Boateng nicht als Nachbarn haben.“\nAfD-Vize Gauland sagte dieser Zeitung weiter, es gehe der AfD in ihrer Frontstellung gegen den Islam nicht um die Verteidigung des Christentums, sondern um die Abwehr des kulturell Fremden. „Wir wollen nicht das Christentum im religiösen Sinne verteidigen.“ Die Wähler der AfD wollten aber, dass man für „ihr So-Sein“ kämpfe, für alles, „was man von den Vätern ererbt“ habe. „Das Christentum ist dafür dann eine Metapher.“ Die große Zahl der Fremden sei das eigentliche Problem, so Gauland. Politiker der AfD waren auf den heute zu Ende gehenden Katholikentag in Leipzig nicht eingeladen worden. Dort sei für menschenverachtende Positionen kein Platz, hieß es zur Begründung. Diese Entscheidung war nicht nur von der AfD, sondern auch von vielen Politikern anderer Parteien kritisiert worden.", "url": "http://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/inland/afd-vize-gauland-beleidigt-jerome-boateng-14257743.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20160530002504/http://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/inland/afd-vize-gauland-beleidigt-jerome-boateng-14257743.html" }, { "language": "de", "title": "Alexander Gauland: Habe Jérôme Boateng nie beleidigt", "text": "AfD-Vize Alexander Gauland hat den Vorwurf zurückgewiesen, den Fußballnationalspieler Jérôme Boateng rassistisch beleidigt zu haben. \"Ich habe nie, wie die FAS insinuiert, Herrn Boateng beleidigt.

Aber sie wollen einen Boateng nicht als Nachbarn haben.\" Der in Berlin geborene Boateng ist der Sohn einer deutschen Mutter und eines ghanaischen Vaters.\nGauland behauptet nun, er habe in einem vertraulichen Hintergrundgespräch die \"Einstellung mancher Menschen beschrieben, aber mich an keiner Stelle über Herrn Boateng geäußert\".\nDie Zeitung widersprach der Darstellung Gaulands. Die betreffenden Journalisten hätten Gauland am Mittwoch zum Gespräch getroffen und die Äußerungen des AfD-Politikers inklusive der umstrittenen Passage aufgezeichnet. \"Wie in früheren Gesprächen auch bestand Herr Gauland nicht auf einer Autorisierung von Zitaten\", heißt es in einer Stellungnahme der Politikredaktion der FAS vom Sonntagmittag.\nHerr Gauland habe nur den \"Teil des Gesprächs, in dem er sich über AfD-Führungspolitiker äußerte\", als Hintergrundgespräch eingestuft und die Journalisten gebeten, daraus nicht zu zitieren.

One is described as entering the house, before returning to the red car where an accomplice was waiting. The vehicle then sped off. Neighbours described hearing a series of bangs at about 9.30pm on Tuesday evening.\nPolice say the victims had been targeted by the gunmen, whom they probably knew. Police did not name those shot but official records and neighbours said the house was occupied by Keith Cowell, 52, a taxi driver for a firm based at nearby Stansted airport. His 17-year-old son Matthew is also believed to have been shot dead as well as a 33-year-old man.\nTwo women were left seriously wounded. Official records show that Mr Cowell's wife, Nicole, 46, lived at the house, and neighbours said the other wounded woman was the girlfriend of Matthew Cowell and the mother of the three-year-old child. The family dog, a pit bull called Glorious, was also killed.\nLast night the girl was being cared for by family and detectives are waiting to see if she saw anything of the attack and whether she can recall any details.\nChief Superintendent Al Thomas, the area commander for east Hertfordshire police, said: \"We don't underestimate the impact of these murders. We share the concern and sense of shock within the community. Early information suggests this was a targeted incident and not a random attack.\"\nChief Constable Frank Whiteley said witnesses had described seeing two young Asian men, aged in their late teens to early 20s, driving away from the scene in a small red car towards the M11.

We are a quarter down on gun crime in total this year.\"\nGary Sanderson, spokesman for East of England Ambulance Services, said: \"The three males were pronounced dead almost immediately.

The little girl was carried out of the house and she was fine.\n\"This is one of the largest scale incidents we've ever seen involving firearms.\"\nNeighbour Richard Guy, 19, who was at home when the shooting happened in Plaw Hatch Close, said: \"At about 9.30pm or 9.45pm last night me and my dad heard a crash or a bang and a car reversed away quickly and sped out.\n\"I don't know if it was a shot bang or a car bang. I thought nothing of it but then I came back from the pub at about 12 and then this had happened.\"\nPolice refused to discuss a possible motive for the attack, but one resident linked it to drugs. Dean O'Connell, 20, said: \"You don't expect it somewhere like this, but this estate is renowned for a little bit of drugs. Most of the trouble here, I imagine, is because of drugs. If it is drugs, the extent that it's gone to is mental.\"\nRoy Hinson, a relative of Mr Cowell, laid flowers at the scene, and said: \"Keith was a great guy and so was Matt.\"\nRosie Knight, 13, who used to walk the family's pet staffordshire bull terrier, said: \"They were a lovely family. You had Keith living there with his wife and then there was their son Matty and his girlfriend Clare whose daughter Angel lived with them.\n\"Matty and Clare were on the point of moving out.

[ { "language": "fr", "title": "VIDEO. Gagnez un voyage sur Mars en aller simple !", "text": "Vous rêvez d'aller sur Mars ? Vous pouvez envoyer depuis mardi votre dossier à un site, Mars One, qui se vante de réaliser votre rêve. «La conquête de Mars est l'étape la plus importante de l'histoire de l'humanité», assure le fondateur de l'entreprise, le néerlandais Bas Lansdorp, un ingénieur en mécanique de 35 ans.\nLe coût du projet ? 4,78 milliards d'euros, soit plus de deux fois celui de la mission du robot américain Curiosity qui a atterri sur Mars le 5 août pour déterminer si l'environnement martien a été propice à la vie microbienne dans le passé.\nDépart en ... 2023. Mars One dit avoir déjà reçu un millier de candidatures, qu'il faudra d'abord départager. L'entreprise choisira alors quatre futurs astronautes, qui seront entraînés, embarqueront dans une navette en 2023 pour un trajet de sept mois vers la planète rouge. L'opération sera renouvelée tous les deux ans jusqu'à atteindre environ vingt terriens en 2033.\nPas de retour. Seuls les plus motivés seront sélectionnés car, précision non négligeable, le billet est un aller-simple ! Les 20 élus devront donc laisser derrière eux leur vie terrienne pour passer le restant de leurs jours sur une planète hostile, où la température est de 55 degrés en dessous de zéro en moyenne et l'atmosphère composée à 95% de dioxyde de carbone. Leur oxygène sera alors produit à partir de l'eau présente sous forme de glace dans le sous-sol. Une fois leur colonie installée, ils mèneront des recherches scientifiques, notamment sur d'éventuelles traces de vie.\nLa télé-réalité s'en mêle. Bas Lansdorp explique avoir eu l'idée du financement du projet en discutant avec le Néerlandais Paul Römer, un des créateurs de l'émission de télé-réalité Big Brother, diffusée pour la première fois en 1999 aux Pays-Bas. D'ailleurs, l'ingénieur souhaite que la sélection des astronautes, leur vie quotidienne sur Mars et leur voyage de sept mois fasse l'objet d'émissions de télévision. Aux manettes : Bas Lansdorp et son équipe, un physicien, un graphiste industriel et une spécialiste en communication d'entreprise, qui garderont la main sur la «coordination générale» du projet et qui ne confiront que la réalisation technique à des sociétés privées spécialisées.\nUn projet soutenu par de grands scientifiques. Parmi les grands soutiens de Bas Landsdorp : le président de la Société spatiale néerlandaise Gerard Blaauw qui salue «l'idée visionnaire que celle de combiner les médias et l'aérospatial». Prix Nobel de physique 1999, le Néerlandais Gerard 't Hoofd, souligne aussi que « de tout temps il y a eu des aventuriers pour se lancer dans des voyages vers l'inconnu, pensez aux vikings qui sont allés en Amérique, à Christophe Colomb».\nNewsletter L'essentiel du matin Un tour de l'actualité pour commencer la journée Toutes les newsletters\nDes chances du survivre sur place ? «Je pense qu'il y a de nombreuses questions qu'ils n'ont pas examinées assez en profondeur», tempère Chris Welch, professeur d'ingénierie spatiale à l'Université internationale pour l'espace (ISU), basée à Strasbourg (nord-est de la France), qui doute que 6 milliards de dollars puissent être rassemblés «grâce à la télé». «Faire atterrir une personne à la surface de Mars... pourquoi pas. Mais faire atterrir quatre personnes et les garder en vie sur place, c'est beaucoup plus difficile», estime-t-il par ailleurs, ajoutant que la production d'oxygène à partir de glace est «en théorie possible» mais extrêmement incertaine. Autre élément à prendre en compte : les éruptions solaires, qui projettent dans l'espace de la matière ionisée pouvant «griller» les astronautes et endommager sérieusement leur vaisseau, met en garde Jorge Vago, expert d'un programme d'exploration de Mars de l'Agence spatiale européenne (ESA).", "url": "http://www.leparisien.fr/sciences/video-gagnez-un-voyage-sur-mars-en-aller-simple-07-12-2012-2385859.php", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210319184231/https://www.leparisien.fr/sciences/video-gagnez-un-voyage-sur-mars-en-aller-simple-07-12-2012-2385859.php" }, { "language": "fr", "title": "Le \"Big brother\" sur Mars, c'est pour 2023", "text": "De la folie ?\nDans une dizaine d'années, la société Mars One aimerait produire une télé-réalité sur la planète rouge.

Autant dire que, contrairement aux candidats de « Secret Story », ceux de Mars One auront de « l’espace ».\nLe projet, attendu pour 2023, devrait coûter 4,78 milliards d’euros, soit plus de deux fois plus cher que la mission de Curiosity. «La conquête de Mars est l'étape la plus importante de l'histoire de l'humanité», assure le fondateur de l'entreprise, le néerlandais Bas Lansdorp, un ingénieur en mécanique de 35 ans. Un tel projet semble donc très envisageable, surtout lorsqu’on sait qu’aucun astronaute – donc une personne professionnel et pas un vulgaire candidat de télé réalité – ne s’est encore jamais rendu sur place...\nUn aller pour Mars... Sans retour !\nQuoiqu’il en soit, l’idée semble plaire, puisque la société affirme avoir déjà reçu un millier de candidatures. Des « aventuriers » que l’entreprise devra trier pour au final n’en garder que quatre, qui subiront un entraînement intensif avant de s’envoler vers d’autres cieux. L'opération sera renouvelée tous les deux ans jusqu'à atteindre environ vingt terriens en 2033.\nCependant, une précision quant aux conditions de voyage s’impose. Les futurs candidats n’auront qu’un billet simple vers Mars ! Les vingt élus devront donc tout abandonner sur Terre pour passer le reste de leur vie – qui ne devrait donc pas durer longtemps – sur une planète où la température avoisine les 55 degrés en dessous de zéro et où l’atmosphère est composée à 95% de dioxyde de carbone. Leur oxygène sera alors produit à partir de l'eau présente sous forme de glace dans le sous-sol. Une fois leur colonie installée, ils mèneront des recherches scientifiques, notamment sur d'éventuelles traces de vie.\nAux commandes de cette future télé-réalité : Bas Lansdorp et son équipe, un physicien, un graphiste industriel et une spécialiste en communication d'entreprise, qui garderont la main sur la «coordination générale» du projet et qui ne confiront que la réalisation technique à des sociétés privées spécialisées.\nMais alors, qu’en pensent les spécialistes ? «Je pense qu'il y a de nombreuses questions qu'ils n'ont pas examinées assez en profondeur», s’inquiète Chris Welch, professeur d'ingénierie spatiale à l'Université internationale pour l'espace (ISU), basée à Strasbourg. Ce dernier doute que 6 milliards de dollars puissent être rassemblés «grâce à la télé». «Faire atterrir une personne à la surface de Mars... pourquoi pas. Mais faire atterrir quatre personnes et les garder en vie sur place, c'est beaucoup plus difficile», estime-t-il par ailleurs, ajoutant que la production d'oxygène à partir de glace est «en théorie possible» mais extrêmement incertaine. Autre élément à prendre en compte : les éruptions solaires, qui projettent dans l'espace de la matière ionisée pouvant «griller» les astronautes et endommager sérieusement leur vaisseau, met en garde Jorge Vago, expert d'un programme d'exploration de Mars de l'Agence spatiale européenne (ESA).\nPar Mathilde Bourge", "url": "http://www.reponseatout.com/insolite/drole/le-big-brother-sur-mars-cest-pour-2023-a108874", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20121209012152/http://www.reponseatout.com/insolite/drole/le-big-brother-sur-mars-cest-pour-2023-a108874" }, { "language": "fr", "title": "Un concours propose de gagner un aller-simple pour Mars", "text": "Envoyez vos candidatures pour Mars!

Après sélection, entraînement et sept mois de trajet, les quatre premiers astronautes seront suivis de quatre autres tous les deux ans, jusqu'à atteindre vingt Terriens en 2033.\nPour financer son projet, l'idée de Mars One est de tout filmer, de l'entraînement des astronautes en herbe à la vie sur place, et de diffuser le tout dans une émission de télé-réalité qui représentera, assure-t-on dans la vidéo de présentation, \"le plus grand événement médiatique à ce jour\".\nEst aussi donnée, dans cette vidéo, une précision non-négligeable : il s'agit d'un voyage aller-simple, et les candidats doivent dont être prêts à passer le reste de leurs jours sur cette planète – où la température moyenne est de - 55 °, et l'atmosphère composée à 95 % de dioxyde de carbone. Les astronautes, après avoir installé leur colonie, sont censés mener des recherches scientifiques, notamment sur d'éventuelles traces de vie.\nEn dépit des nombreux soutiens et de l'enthousiasme affiché par la start-up, l'Agence France presse (AFP) relaie quelques avis plus sceptiques sur son initiative. \"Je pense qu'il y a de nombreuses questions qu'ils n'ont pas examinées assez en profondeur\", tempère ainsi Chris Welch, professeur d'ingénieurie spatiale à l'Université internationale pour l'espace de Strasbourg. Jorge Vago, expert d'un programme d'exploration de Mars de l'Agence spatiale européenne, assure de son côté que les turbulences à la surface de la planète rouge rendent quasi impossible l'atterrissage de deux appareils au même endroit, comme le prévoit Mars One. Les éruptions solaires projettent dans l'espace de la matière ionisée qui peut \"griller\" les astronautes et endommager sérieusement leur vaisseau, met aussi en garde le scientifique.\nSelon l'AFP toujours, Bas Lansdorp, ingénieur en mécanique qui a créé la société Mars One, évalue le coût du projet à 6 milliards de dollars, soit plus de deux fois les 2,5 milliards de dollars de la mission du robot américain Curiosity, qui a atterri sur Mars en août. Depuis que l'engin se balade sur le sol ocre et poussiéreux de la planète voisine, la perspective d'y envoyer des humains est de plus en plus sérieusement envisagée. Mars One pourrait devancer les plans de la NASA elle-même, alors que Barack Obama avait parlé d'un tel projet à l'horizon 2030.\nMardi, Big Browser relatait comment la Chine avait annoncé le succès d'une expérimentation visant à faire pousser des légumes pour approvisionner les astronautes \"dans des bases extraterrestres, sur la Lune ou sur Mars\". En attendant que ces plans sur la comète ne deviennent réalité, les voyages en apesanteur sont déjà en phase de se \"démocratiser\" quelque peu : mardi, le Centre national d’études spatiales (CNES), l’agence spatiale française, annonçait la commercialisation de vols de 2 h 30, comprenant cinq minutes d’apesanteur cumulées, pour 6 000 euros, comme le rapportait le magazine Challenges. Ces vols, prévus dès mars 2013, restent toutefois dans l'atmosphère terrestre, à 10 000 mètres d'altitude. Pour aller plus haut, il faut aussi payer plus cher : environ 200 000 euros par exemple, pour un vol jusqu'à 110 km au-dessus du sol, 6 minutes d'apesanteur comprises, avec Virgin Galactic. La société russe Orbital Technologies a quant à elle dévoilé l’année dernière un projet d’hôtel de quatre chambres à 320 km de la Terre, relate Challenges.\nRédaction du Monde.fr", "url": "http://bigbrowser.blog.lemonde.fr/2012/12/05/sideral-aller-simple-pour-mars-la-selection-des-terriens-interesses-commence-dans-trois-mois/#xtor=RSS-32280322", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210319184251/https://www.lemonde.fr/big-browser/article/2012/12/05/sideral-aller-simple-pour-mars-la-selection-des-terriens-interesses-commence-dans-trois-mois_5986431_4832693.html" }, { "language": "fr", "title": "Une start-up néerlandaise propose un billet pour Mars", "text": "Une start-up néerlandaise propose un billet pour Mars\nSi vous rêvez d'aller dans l'espace, la fondation Mars One pourrait exaucer votre voeu.

Et certains aimeraient bien passer du fantasme à la réalité… Ainsi la start-up Mars One a annoncé le 4 décembre 2012 qu’elle se transforme en fondation à but non lucrative dont le but sera « d’ emmener l’Humanité sur Mars en 2023 et d’y fonder une colonie ».\nLe coût du projet ? Cinq milliards d'euros, soit plus de deux fois celui de la mission du robot américain Curiosity qui a atterri sur Mars le 5 août dernier mais bien moins que ce qui a été estimé par la Nasa pour un tel voyage (75 milliards de dollars). La différence se joue à un détail... Mars One ne propose qu’un aller simple !\nPourtant, d’après l’un des deux fondateurs de la fondation, Bas Lansdorp, ingénieur en mécanique de 35 ans, un millier de personnes ont déjà déposé leur candidature. « La conquête de Mars est la prochaine étape majeure de l’humanité », explique-t-il. La sélection des candidats démarrera en 2013. Quatre premiers astronautes seront choisis. Ils seront alors entraînés, puis embarqueront dans une navette en 2023 pour un trajet de sept mois vers la planète rouge. L'opération sera renouvelée tous les deux ans jusqu'à ce que la colonie compte 20 personnes en 2033.\nCes exilés volontaires abandonneront leur vie terrestre pour passer leur existence sur une planète hostile ou la température est de 55 degrés en dessous de zéro et l’atmosphère irrespirable telle quelle. Une fois installée, la petite colonie mènera des recherches scientifiques.\nPour financer ce projet, les fondateurs de Mars One ont eu l’idée d’en filmer l’intégralité : de la présélection à la vie martienne au quotidien.

Pour la vidéo de présentation de l’opération (voir ci-dessous), « ce sera le plus grand événement médiatique jamais connu à ce jour ».\nMars One se targue d’être soutenue par de nombreuses personnalités dont le président de la Société spatiale néerlandaise Gerard Blaauw, qui salue « l'idée visionnaire que celle de combiner les médias et l'aérospatial », et le Prix Nobel de physique 1999, le Néerlandais Gerard 't Hoofd.

Beim Amtsgericht Essen sei ein Antrag auf Eröffnung des Insolvenzverfahrens wegen drohender Zahlungsunfähigkeit eingereicht worden, teilte das Unternehmen mit. Es lägen Anträge für die Gesellschaften Arcandor AG, Karstadt Warenhaus GmbH, Primondo GmbH (alle Essen) und Quelle GmbH (Fürth) vor, bestätigte das Amtsgericht.\nAusgenommen vom Insolvenzverfahren sind laut Arcandor die Touristiksparte Thomas Cook, die Primondo-Specialty Group GmbH mit ihren Tochter- und Beteiligungsgesellschaften sowie der Homeshopping-Sender HSE24.\nDas Amtsgericht Essen bestellte den Kölner Anwalt Klaus Hubert Görg zum vorläufigen Insolvenzverwalter. Er sei für alle vier Insolvenzverfahren der Arcandor AG sowie der drei Töchter zuständig, teilte das Gericht mit. Arcandor strebt eine Sanierung durch ein so genanntes Insolvenzplanverfahren an. Diese Planinsolvenz in Eigenverwaltung soll es dem Unternehmen einfacher machen, sich selbst zu sanieren.\nDas Unternehmen ernannte dazu den Düsseldorfer Sanierungsfachmann Horst Piepenburg zum Generalbevollmächtigten, der die operative Führung der Geschäfte bei Arcandor übernehmen soll. Er soll mit Görg zusammenarbeiten. \"Heute ist Deutschlands größtes Insolvenzverfahren eingeleitet worden\", sagte Piepenburg am Arcandor-Hauptsitz in Essen. In erster Linie gehe es um den Erhalt von Arbeitsplätzen, fügte er hinzu.\nGehälter bis August gesichert\nZahlreiche Beschäftigte verließen nach der Bekanntgabe schweigend und mit gesenkten Köpfen die Arcandor-Zentrale in Essen. Mit zahlreichen Kundgebungen, Demonstrationen und Unterschriftensammlungen hatten zuletzt Tausende Arcandor-Mitarbeiter versucht, Berlin zur Zahlung von Staatshilfe zu bewegen. Arcandor-Chef Karl-Gerhard Eick bedankte sich in einer Mitteilung für den Einsatz. \"Wir werden auch im Rahmen des Insolvenzverfahrens darum kämpfen, möglichst viele Arbeitsplätze und Standorte zu erhalten\", versprach er. Die Gehälter sind durch die Zahlung von Insolvenzgeld durch die Bundesagentur für Arbeit für Juni, Juli und August gesichert. Im Rahmen des vorläufigen Insolvenzverfahrens werde der operative Geschäftsbetrieb aufrechterhalten, erklärte Arcandor.\nArcandor : Chronik des Niedergangs Der frühere KarstadtQuelle- und heutige Arcandor-Konzern steckt schon lange in einer tiefen Krise. [ mehr\n\"Schwarzer Tag für die Beschäftigten\"\nDer Vorsitzende des Gesamtbetriebsrats, Hellmut Patzelt, sprach in den Tagesthemen von einem \"rabenschwarzen Tag\". Karstadt \"hätte nicht in die Insolvenz gehen dürfen\", sagte er - das Unternehmen habe im vergangenen halben Jahr \"gute Geschäfte\" gemacht und \"viel Zuspruch\" erfahren. Es müsse abgewartet werden, ob die Insolvenz eine Chance sei. Wenn man jetzt nicht strategisch plane, werde es viele Arbeitsplätze kosten.\nDie stellvertretende Vorsitzende der gewerkschaft ver.di, Margret Mönig- Raane, kritisierte Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel und Bundeswirtschaftsminister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg: \"Wer Lösungen will, findet Wege. Wer keine Lösung will, findet Gründe.\"\nBeim traditionsreichen Versandhaus Quelle in Fürth löste die Insolvenz einen Schock aus. Fürths Oberbürgermeister Thomas Jung fürchtet ein \"zweites Grundig\" für die Region - schon der Niedergang des Elektronikkonzerns hatte Tausende von Arbeitsplätzen gekostet. Mehr über die Insolvenz von Quelle lesen Sie hier.\nRegierung lehnt Rettungskredit ab\nAm Montag hatte die Regierung einen Antrag auf Hilfen aus dem Deutschlandfonds und den als letzte Chance gehandelten Rettungskredit abgelehnt. Der zuständige Ausschuss sah zunächst die Eigentümer des Konzerns in der Pflicht, deren Beitrag zu einer Sanierung als ungenügend bewertet wurde. Dem Konzern war Zeit gegeben worden, seinen Antrag nachzubessern. Darüber war in der Konzernzentrale in der Nacht auf Dienstag gerungen worden - offenbar ohne tragfähiges Ergebnis. Die vom interministeriellen Ausschuss geforderte Verbesserung des Antrags auf Rettungsbeihilfe sei \"nicht erreichbar\" gewesen, begründete Arcandor.\nRettungsbeihilfe : Auf der Suche nach neuen Geldquellen bemühte sich Arcandor zuletzt um einen staatlichen Notkredit. Dabei handelt es sich um ein sogenanntes Zuweisungsgeschäft: Die Bundesregierung kann die staatseigene KfW anweisen, einen Kredit zu gewähren. Die EU-Kommission muss die Staatshilfe genehmigen und kann Auflagen machen.\nEine Unterstützung Arcandors aus dem sogenannten Deutschlandfonds, den die Regierung mit dem zweiten Konjunkturpaket aufgelegt hat, kommt für Karstadt nicht infrage: Eine Bedingung dafür ist nämlich, dass die Probleme des Unternehmens erst mit der Wirtschaftskrise im August 2008 begonnen haben.\nArcandor hatte bereits erklärt, dass der Konzern ohne staatliche Unterstützung vor der Pleite stehe. Bis Freitag muss der Konzern eigenen Angaben zufolge Kredite über 650 Millionen Euro verlängern.\nKonkurrent in den Startlöchern\nDer Konkurrent Metro hatte bereits Interesse an einer Reihe von Karstadt-Häusern angemeldet. Nun will der Handelsriese die Gespräche mit Arcandor über eine Übernahme möglichst schnell fortsetzen. Metro-Sprecher Rüdiger Stahlschmidt sagte: \"Wir hoffen wenn die Lage es zulässt, dass wir die Gespräche nächste Woche wieder aufnehmen können.\" Metros Vorschlag: Die eigene Warenhauskette Kaufhof mit Karstadt vereinigen. \"An unserem Konzept zur Übernahme von etwa 60 Karstadt-Standorten und damit zur Rettung der großen Mehrheit der Arbeitsplätze halten wir unverändert fest\", betonte der Sprecher. Bei Arcandor mit seinen über 100 Warenhäusern sind insgesamt 56.000 Menschen beschäftigt, bei Karstadt allein etwa 24.000.\nStand: 10.06.2009 00:09 Uhr", "url": "http://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/arcandor216.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20090612062215/http://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/arcandor216.html" } ]

Dafür müssen sie Managergehälter kappen und sich anderen Auflagen unterwerfen. An den Börsen sorgte die Teilverstaatlichung für Erleichterung: Die Aktien vieler Banken sprangen mehr als zehn Prozent in die Höhe, obwohl der Leitindex der New Yorker Börse wegen der Rezessionssorgen frühe Gewinne wieder abgab.\nUS-Finanzminister Henry Paulson versicherte, keine der neun Banken sei in ernster Gefahr. Der vor der Kreditkrise undenkbare staatliche Eingriff erfolge ausschließlich im Interesse der weltgrößten Volkswirtschaft. Der Schritt sei bedauerlich, aber ohne Alternative, sagte der ehemalige Wall-Street-Banker. Präsident George W. Bush sprach von einer kurzfristigen Maßnahme, um das Überleben des US-Bankensystems zu sichern. Die Banken würden dazu ermutigt, der Regierung die Anteile sobald wie möglich wieder abzukaufen. \"Diese Maßnahmen dienen nicht der Übernahme des freien Marktes, sondern seiner Erhaltung\", sagte Bush.\nDie jetzt genannten 250 Milliarden Dollar sind Teil des bereits vor einigen Tagen beschlossenen Hilfspakets von 700 Milliarden Dollar, das aufgeschnürt und um die jetzt beschlossenen Beteiligungen verändert wurde. Die Regierung wird dabei pro Institut jeweils für bis zu 25 Milliarden Dollar nicht stimmberechtigte Vorzugsaktien erwerben. Diese werfen in den ersten fünf Jahren eine Dividendenrendite von fünf Prozent ab und danach neun Prozent. Zudem wird die staatliche Einlagensicherung FDIC bestimmte Verbindlichkeiten der Finanzinstitute garantieren, um damit den eingefrorenen Interbankenhandel zu enteisen.\nDie Banken müssen ihre Teilnahme an dem Programm spätestens am 14. November bekannt geben. Wie Reuters erfuhr, nehmen zunächst die Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanleyund die Bank of New York Mellon Corp die Gelder in Anspruch. Medienberichten zufolge sollen auch Merrill Lynch und State Street Corp Finanzspritzen erhalten. Der \"New York Times\" zufolge sollen Citigroup, JPMorgan, Bank of America und Wells Fargo jeweils 25 Milliarden Dollar erhalten. An Goldman Sachs und an Morgan Stanley wolle sich der Staat mit je zehn Milliarden Dollar beteiligen.\nMit den geplanten Staatsbeteiligungen und den Garantien zur Wiederbelebung des Marktes zur Geldverleihung zwischen den Banken orientiert sich die US-Regierung an den europäischen Rettungspaketen der vergangenen Tage. Ursprünglich wollte die US-Regierung mit den 700 Milliarden Dollar den Banken vor allem faule Kredite abkaufen. Zuletzt hatte sich aber die Überzeugung durchgesetzt, dass direkte Kapitalspritzen ihre Wirkung deutlich schneller entfalten und damit die ausufernde Kreditkrise effektiver eindämmen können.

De esta forma, el Gobierno de Andrés Manuel López Obrador tiene el primer millón de antígenos de los 10 millones contratados con la farmacéutica asiática. La Administración sigue adelante con su plan de vacunación a los adultos mayores de 60 años.\nEl canciller Marcelo Ebrard, quien estuvo presente en el aeropuerto internacional de Ciudad de México durante la llegada del nuevo envío, agradeció el compromiso de Pekín para cumplir con la promesa de surtir el primer millón de dosis antes de que finalizara febrero. El presidente López Obrador sostuvo hace algunos días una llamada con el embajador chino en México, Zhu Qingqiao, para asegurarse de que el gigante asiático cubriera su parte del pacto. El secretario de Relaciones Exteriores ha afirmado que el flujo de llegada de los antígenos se mantendrá, con lo que se podrá continuar el ritmo del plan de vacunación diseñado por Salud que tiene hasta el momento un 76% de avance en los primeros beneficiarios, el personal sanitario.\nEl país ha recibido desde el 23 de diciembre, en un total de 12 embarques arribados en 17 vuelos, 3,8 millones de vacunas, de las cuales se han aplicado dos millones hasta la noche del jueves 25 de febrero.

Este antígeno consiguió el 9 de febrero la aprobación para su uso de emergencia por el regulador sanitario, la Cofepris.\nLuis Antonio Ramírez, el director del Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (Issste), ha afirmado esta mañana que las 800.000 dosis recibidas serán distribuidas durante la semana a varios Estados del país.

La campaña de vacunación local ha representado un nuevo reto logístico para las autoridades federales y locales ante las largas filas de los vecinos, todos ellos mayores de 60 años.

Das Team von Bundestrainer Christian Prokop verlor vor 6.558 Zuschauerinnen und Zuschauern im norwegischen Trondheim gegen Spanien mit 26:33 (11:14).\nNach einem schwachen Start konnten die Deutschen auch angesichts zahlreicher Fehler das Spiel nicht zu ihren Gunsten entscheiden. Schon nach fünf Minuten gingen die Spanier in Führung, kurz darauf lag Deutschland bereits mit 1:4 zurück. Auch eine Auswechslung des glücklosen Torhüters Andreas Wolff beim Stand von 2:8 gegen den Routinier Johannes Bitter brachte keine Spielwende: Nach der ersten Hälfte führte Spanien mit 14:11.\nSpäter ließ Prokop offensiver spielen, was zunächst Erfolge zu bringen schien. Zahlreiche Fehler verhinderten jedoch einen Führungswechsel. Kapitän Uwe Gensheimer scheiterte mehrfach am spanischen Torwart Gonzalo Perez de Vergas und musste nach der ersten Halbzeit auf die Bank, während Wolff ins Tor zurückkehrte. Doch auch weitere Umstellungen änderten nichts daran, dass Spanien das Spiel als stärkere Mannschaft gewann.\nDamit hat Spanien sich nach dem zweiten Spiel für die Hauptrunde qualifiziert.

Die DHB-Auswahl kassierte am Samstag im zweiten Vorrundenspiel gegen Titelverteidiger Spanien eine ganz bittere 26:33 (11:14)-Niederlage und steht im Kampf um den angepeilten Halbfinal-Einzug nun schwer unter Druck.\n\"Wir kommen schlampig in das Spiel, obwohl wir sehr gut vorbereitet waren\", sagte Prokop in der ARD: \"Aber eine unterirdische Angriffsaktivität hat uns den Zahn gezogen.\" Die Spanier seien in allen Bereichen überlegen gewesen: \"Wir haben in der Abwehr inklusive Torhüter nicht das gezeigt, was man in so einem Spiel braucht.\" Keeper Johannes Bitter konnte nicht widersprechen: \"Wir haben es von Anfang an nicht geschafft, in den Kampfmodus reinzukommen.\"\nIm nächsten Spiel muss mindestens ein Unentschieden her, damit sich Deutschland zumindest sicher für die Hauptrunde der besten zwölf Mannschaften qualifiziert. Das Ziel Finalrunde liegt nach der Niederlage gegen Spanien allerdings in weiter Ferne, selbst bei einem hohen Sieg gegen Lettland würde man mit null Punkten in die entscheidende Turnierphase starten. Beste Werfer gegen Spanien waren vor Kreisläufer Hendrik Pekeler (5) und Kapitän Uwe Gensheimer (4/2).\nBeide Teams wussten um die Bedeutung des Spiels und begannen vor 6558 Zuschauern in Trondheim entsprechend nervös. Erst nach 4:40 Minuten fiel das erste Tor - für den Titelverteidiger. Die DHB-Auswahl leistete sich vor allem im Angriff gegen die sehr offensiv deckenden Spanier viele unnötige Fehler und lag nach acht Minuten mit 1:4 zurück. Prokop reagierte sofort und nahm in der ersten Auszeit einige Korrekturen vor.\nDoch es wurde nicht besser, was der Bundestrainer an der Seitenlinie laut schimpfend und mit bösem Blick verfolgte. Torwart Andreas Wolff bekam zudem kaum einen Ball zu fassen und musste seinen Platz zwischen den Pfosten schon nach zwölf Minuten beim Stand von 2:8 für Johannes Bitter räumen. Der 37 Jahre alte Routinier, der 2007 schon beim deutschen WM-Triumph dabei war, konnte sich aber ebenfalls kaum auszeichnen.\nZu viele Fehler in der Offensive\nViel mehr Wirkung zeigte die Umstellung auf eine offensive Abwehr, mit der die Spanier schlechter zurecht kamen. Nach einem 5:0-Lauf war die DHB-Auswahl beim 9:10 plötzlich wieder dran. Die deutsche Mannschaft konnte das Momentum jedoch nicht nutzen, weil sie sich weiter zu viele Fehler in der Offensive leistete. Zudem scheiterte Kapitän Uwe Gensheimer gleich zweimal beim Siebenmeter am überragenden spanischen Keeper Gonzalo Perez de Vargas. So zogen die Spanier wieder davon.\nProkop reagierte nicht nur verbal auf die verpatzte erste Halbzeit, sondern auch personell. Die Routiniers Gensheimer und Tobias Reichmann mussten auf die Bank und wurden auf den Außenpositionen durch die EM-Debütanten Patrick Zieker und Timo Kastening ersetzt. Und Wolff kehrte ins Tor zurück.\nDoch die erhoffte Wende blieb aus. Wieder erwischte Spanien den besseren Start und verschaffte sich erneut ein Fünf-Tore-Polster (18:13). Bei der deutschen Mannschaft lief an diesem Tag nichts zusammen. \"Mit unseren Fehlern kommen wir nicht weiter, wir müssen alle überzeugt sein\", forderte Prokop in der nächsten Auszeit Mitte der zweiten Halbzeit beim Stand von 18:24. Doch seine Worte verhallten ohne Wirkung.", "url": "https://www.sueddeutsche.de/sport/handball-em-deutschland-erlebt-debakel-gegen-spanien-1.4753189", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20200111223101/https://www.sueddeutsche.de/sport/handball-em-deutschland-erlebt-debakel-gegen-spanien-1.4753189" } ]

En un almuerzo informativo en Madrid, Trichet señaló que la inflación en la zona euro se \"podrá mantener estable por algún tiempo\" y \"se moderará en 2009\" gracias a las caídas recientes de las materias primas junto con el \"debilitamiento importante de la demanda\" de los últimos meses.\nLos riesgos al alza de los precios de consumo \"han disminuido\" y es probable que haya una \"nueva caída\" de dichos riesgos de aquí a que se reúna el Consejo de Gobierno del BCE, subrayó Trichet, quien por eso vio \"posible\" que para entonces se decida una nueva bajada de los tipos. El precio del dinero en Europa está en el 3,75% tras la bajada del 0,50% aprobada en octubre de manera conjunta por el BCE, los bancos centrales de Inglaterra, Suiza, Suecia y Canadá y la Reserva Federal de EE UU, donde los tipos se quedaron en el 1,5%.\nTrichet, que ha insistido en varias ocasiones en que esto es sólo una posibilidad, ha asegurado que \"si y sólo si\" se rebajan finalmente los tipos de interés, se hará porque esto no afecta a la inflación.

Ela afirmou também que há a possibilidade de aprovar também em 2017 a reforma tributária, que ainda não foi enviada pelo governo ao Congresso.\n“A tributária depende de ser enviada, mas claramente espera-se que a votação seja ainda neste ano”, afirmou Meirelles após participar de evento em São Paulo.\nO ministro também foi questionado se o governo terá força política para conseguir a aprovação da reforma da Previdência na Câmara. Nesta quarta-feira (2), o governo conseguiu 263 votos favoráveis para arquivar a denúncia contra Michel Temer.\nEsse placar é insuficiente para garantir a aprovação da reforma da Previdência, que precisa de 308 votos a favor, por se tratar de uma Proposta de Emenda à Constituição.\n“São decisões diferentes. Acreditamos sim na viabilidade de aprovação”, resumiu Meirelles sobre o placar considerado mais apertado que o esperado.\nO ministro da Fazenda disse ainda que não \"há margem\" para mais mudanças no texto da reforma da Previdência. A proposta do governo já foi alterada na Câmara dos Deputados. Ele afirma que as alterações feitas até o momento fazem com que o benefício fiscal esperado corresponda a 75% do proposto pelo governo inicialmente.\n“A princípio, o projeto como está no relatório do deputado relator é um projeto adequado”, disse o ministro. “É evidente que funciona. Mas não há muita margem para alterar isso.”\nMeirelles diz que espera aprovação da reforma da Previdência até outubro\nRevisão da meta fiscal\nMeirelles disse também que o governo está observando a evolução da arrecadação para estabelecer se é necessário revisar a meta fiscal de 2017. Segundo ele, o principal ponto para a analisar a possibilidade do cumprimento da meta é a receita do governo, pois “a despesa está sob controle”.\nPela a meta atual, o governo trabalha para fechar o ano com um rombo fiscal de R$ 139 bilhões. Questionasdo por jornalistas se pretende alterar a meta, o ministro respondeu: “nós estamos olhando a evolução da receita, (...) a nossa expectativa é que a receita volte a crescer pela própria retomada da economia, que já está acontecendo.”\n“Estamos analisando isso, estamos monitorando a questão, fazendo projeções de receita diariamente”, afirmou Meirelles.\nO ministro, no entanto, ressaltou que ainda não há nenhuma decisão definitiva sobre a mudança da meta. “Nós estamos trabalhando no assunto. A princípio, a meta é R$ 139 bilhões. Nosso objetivo é cumprir a meta. Nós estamos agora analisando quais foram as razões da queda da arrecadação no primeiro trimestre que gerou exatamente essa perspectiva, digamos, essa incerteza em relação à meta.”\nQueda na arrecadação\nMeirelles citou como um dos fatores que reduziram a arrecadação do governo a desaceleração da inflação. No entanto, há outros pontos que geraram frustração de receita. A segunda fase do programa de repatriação, por exemplo, arrecadou apenas R$ 1,61 bilhão dos R$ 13 bilhões previstos inicialmente pelo governo.\nEsta não foi a primeira vez que o ministro falou sobre possíveis mudanças na meta fiscal. Há alguns dias, ele chegou a afirmar que o governo pode mudar a meta fiscal deste ano, mas depois disse que ela está mantida - embora tenha admitido na mesma ocasião que está analisando o assunto.", "url": "http://g1.globo.com/economia/noticia/revisao-da-meta-depende-da-evolucao-da-arrecadacao-diz-meirelles.ghtml", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20170804002932/http://g1.globo.com/economia/noticia/revisao-da-meta-depende-da-evolucao-da-arrecadacao-diz-meirelles.ghtml" } ]

Stany Zjednoczone chcą, by Kolumbia, która jest największym na świecie producentem kokainy, stała się główną bazą dla amerykańskich samolotów, wykorzystywanych do walki z przemysłem narkotykowym. Na mocy porozumienia z rządem Kolumbii armia USA miałaby dostęp do siedmiu baz wojskowych w tym kraju; liczba amerykańskich żołnierzy wzrosłaby tam z niespełna 300 do maksimum 800.\nKokainowy sojusz\nNiedawno, podczas dyplomatycznych zatargów z Kolumbią, Chavez postawił siły zbrojne Wenezueli w stan gotowości bojowej, szybko jednak tę decyzję odwołał.\nJego bliski sojusznik, prezydent Boliwii Evo Morales, który sam był niegdyś farmerem uprawiającym kokę, a w zeszłym roku wyrzucił z kraju amerykańskich agentów ds. walki z narkotykami powiedział, że kolumbijscy rebelianci z organizacji FARC, sponsorowani przez kartele narkotykowe, stali się głównym pretekstem do organizowania w tym regionie amerykańskich operacji wojskowych.\nTo drugi Irak\nMorales dodał, że skoncentrowanie wojsk amerykańskich w bazach w Kolumbii jest niedopuszczalne. - To jest skierowane przeciw FARC.

North Korea says it will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of late leader Kim Il-sung.\nBut the opponents of the move say it contravenes UN resolutions that were imposed after a similar launch in April 2009.\nRussia said on Tuesday said that Pyongyang's plans showed ''disregard'' for the resolutions.\nContinue reading the main story At the scene With this week's events the regime hopes to convince its people that their nation has been turned into a powerful, prosperous land. Most outsiders would not view North Korea that way. Instead, watching the mass celebration, it seems what sustains North Korea is the personality cult built around the Kim dynasty, and a system of totalitarian control. As the 100,000 people filed out of the square our group of journalists was hurried away by our minders. We were told we could not interview a single one of the crowd who had been present and were hustled away.\n\"The way out of the situation should be sought on the political and diplomatic track,\" said Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich, quoted by state-run news agency RIA.\nChina, one of North Korea's closest allies, urged all parties to remain calm.\n\"We call on parties concerned to stay calm, exercise restraint and avoid escalation of tensions on the Korean peninsula,\" foreign ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said at a press briefing on Tuesday.\nA Pentagon spokesman said US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta had spoken to his South Korean counterpart on the phone late Monday. Both leaders would regard the launch ''as a serious provocation'', the spokesman said.\nJapan and South Korea have warned they will shoot the rocket down if it threatens their territory.\nRoute changes\nMeanwhile the Philippine Airlines said in a statement that it will change the flight path of about a dozen flights between Manila and the United States, Canada, Japan and South Korea.\nPhilippine officials have also declared a no-fly zone and warned ships and fishing boats to avoid the area where rocket debris could fall.\nJAL said in a notice that the flight paths of four flights between Tokyo and Manila, Jakarta and Singapore would be adjusted, leading to an increase in flying time by five to 20 minutes.\nANA announced changes to the flight paths of five flights between Tokyo and Singapore, Manila and Jakarta, but said that flight schedules will not be affected.\nOn Sunday, officials invited foreign journalists to the Sohae satellite station at Tongchang-ri, on the country's north-west coast. All three stages of the rocket were visibly in position at the launch pad.\nNorth Korea's parliament is also meeting this week ahead of the formal celebrations to commemorate Kim Il-sung on 15 April.\nOn Monday, thousands of people gathered in Pyongyang to witness the unveiling of a new portrait of Kim Jong-il, who died in December 2011.\nPyongyang had agreed in February to a partial freeze in nuclear activities and a missile test moratorium in return for US food aid. But the deal was put on hold last month after the North announced its rocket launch plans.", "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-17661219", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20120411035131/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-17661219" } ]

Mal \"Unwort des Jahres\" gewählt\nDas Unwort des Jahres 2009 heißt\n„betriebsratsverseucht“\nIn der Sendung \"Monitor\" (ARD 14.5.2009) berichtete ein Mitarbeiter einer Baumarktkette, dass dieses Wort von Abteilungsleitern verwendet wird, wenn ein Mitarbeiter von einer Filiale mit Betriebsrat in eine Filiale ohne Betriebsrat wechseln will. Dort könnte ihm vorgehalten werden, dass sein bisheriges Vetrauen in eine Arbeitnehmervertretung die Einstellung gefährde. Die Wahrnehmung von Arbeitnehmerinteressen \"stört\" zwar viele Unternehmen, sie als \"Seuche\" zu bezeichnen, ist indes ein zumindest sprachlicher Tiefpunkt im Umgang mit Lohnabhängigen.\nDie Jury kritisiert außerdem die Formulierungen\n„Flüchtlingsbekämpfung“\nSo hat Bundeskanzlerin Merkel auf einem \"Bürgerforum\" der Bertelsmann-Stiftung einen Teil des deutschen Beitrags zum Migrationsproblem, die Abwehr von Flüchtlingen an Europas Grenzen, benannt. Es ist zu hoffen, dass damit nicht tatsächlich militärische Aktionen gemeint sind. In jedem Fall ist die Gleichsetzung einer Menschengruppe mit einem negativen und deshalb zu bekämpfenden Sachverhalt (wie in \"Krankheits-\", \"Seuchen-\" oder \"Terrorismusbekämpfung\") ein dramatischer sprachlicher Fehlgriff. - Ferner\n„intelligente Wirksysteme“\nHinter dieser nur scheinbar harmlosen Bezeichnung verbergen sich ausschließlich technologisch hochentwickelte Munitionsarten. Sie werden von einem Tochterunternehmen zweier Rüstungskonzerne mit dem gleichfalls verschleiernden Firmennamen \"Gesellschaft für Intelligente Wirksysteme mbh\" produziert.\nDie Wahl eines „Unworts des Jahres“ erfolgte zum 19. Mal. Begründet wurde diese sprachkritische Aktion 1991. Diesmal hatten sich 2.018 Einsenderinnen und Einsender aus dem In- und Ausland, auch aus Übersee, u.a. aus Japan, mit 982 verschiedenen Vorschlägen beteiligt. Wiederum haben sich auch ganze Schulklassen und Oberstufenkurse an der Unwort-Findung beteiligt, so in der Ernst-Goebel-Schule in Höchst/Odenwald und im Wirtschaftsgymnasium Winsen/Luhe, sowie Seminargruppen wie an der FU Berlin.\nDer Jury für das Unwort des Jahres 2009 gehörten an die vier ständigen Mitglieder Prof. Dr. Margot Heinemann (Leipzig), Prof. Dr. Nina Janich (Darmstadt), der Sprecher der Jury Prof. Dr. Horst Dieter Schlosser (Frank­furt a.M.) und Prof. Dr. Martin Wengeler (Düsseldorf). Vertreter der Sprachpraxis waren diesmal das Mitglied der Chefredaktion der „Frankfurter Rundschau“ Stephan Hebel und der Sozialethiker Prof. Dr. Friedhelm Hengsbach S.J. (Ludwigshafen).\nZeitgleich wird in Düsseldorf das Börsen-Unwort 2009 verkündet. Es lautet:\n„Bad Bank“.\nZur Begründung heißt es: \"Es ist für das Publikum schwer nachvollziehbar, dass eine offenbar schlechte Bank eine weitere bad Bank gründet und dies eine gute Lösung für Probleme der Finanzkrise sein soll.\"\n19.

Gesucht werden Wörter und Formulierungen aus der öffentlichen Sprache, die sachlich grob unangemessen sind und möglicherweise sogar die Menschenwürde verletzen. Die Vorschläge können aus allen Bereichen der öffentlichen Kommunikation stammen, aus Politik, Verwaltung, Wirtschaft, Technik, Wissenschaft, Kulturinstitutionen oder Medien, und sollen in jedem Fall eine Quellenangabe enthalten.

M.). Zwei weitere Jurorensitze sind jährlich neu mit Vertretern der öffentlichen Sprachpraxis besetzt. Bis 1994 wurde das »Unwort des Jahres« im Rahmen der Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache gekürt; nach einem Konflikt mit dem Vorstand dieser Gesellschaft um die Rüge der Kanzlerformulierung »kollektiver Freizeitpark« (für 1993) hat sich die Jury als »Sprachkritische Aktion Unwort des Jahres« selbständig gemacht. Vorschläge werden während des ganzen Jahres entgegengenommen, die intensive Sammelphase liegt aber jeweils zwischen Oktober und Anfang Januar; die danach in einer Sitzung der Jury gefällte Entscheidung wird über die Medien bekanntgegeben.

Die Aktion, die in diesem Jahr ihr 20-jähriges Jubiläum feiert, löste in den letzten Jahren oft heftige Diskussionen aus.\nWohlklingende Worte hört Horst Dieter Schlosser immer wieder gerne. Kein Wunder, schließlich war er bis 2002 Linguistikprofessor in Frankfurt. In seiner Freizeit aber beschäftigt sich der 73-jährige Wissenschaftler seit Jahren am liebsten mit sprachlichen Missgriffen. Worten, die zynisch, menschenverachtend oder bewusst verharmlosend sind und die besonders häufig in der Politik und Wirtschaft vorkommen.\nSo wie der Begriff \"alternativlos\", den Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel in Bezug auf die Griechenlandhilfe benutzt hatte, als es darum ging, ob und wie die EU-Länder finanzielle Hilfestellung leisten sollen. Politiker benutzten die Floskel aber auch in vielen anderen Zusammenhängen. \"Die Menschen haben sich zu Recht darüber aufgeregt\", sagt Schlosser. \"Denn damit wird ja unterstellt, es gebe keine andere Wahl als die Entscheidung, die die Politiker gefällt haben, und das ist falsch.\"\nSchwierige Entscheidung\nNatürlich gilt das auch für die zahlreichen Unwort-Vorschläge, aus denen die Jury ihre Wahl treffen musste. Diesmal sei es besonders schwierig gewesen, gibt Schlosser zu. Es gab 1132 Zuschriften mit insgesamt 624 Vorschlägen, darunter auch Begriffe wie \"Wutbürger\", mit denen Bürger bezeichnet wurden, die gegen ein großes Bahnhofsprojekt in Stuttgart protestierten, oder \"Integrationsverweigerer\", ein Begriff, der Migranten unterstellt, sich aktiv gegen die Eingliederung in die Gesellschaft zu wehren. Der Begriff \"alternativlos\" aber sei von Politikern im letzten Jahr so inflationär gebraucht worden, dass die Jury sich letztlich auf dieses Unwort geeinigt habe, so Schlosser.\nDer Germanist ist seit 1991 der Kopf der Aktion, die er eher \"unfreiwillig\" ins Leben rief, wie er sagt. Auf einer Podiumsdiskussion habe er damals launisch vorgeschlagen, ein \"Unwort des Jahres\" einzuführen – und sei sofort vom Publikum beim Wort genommen worden. Er suchte sich eine kleine Jury aus Sprachwissenschaftlern, Journalisten und Schriftstellern zusammen und wählte aus den eingereichten Vorschlägen die fremdenfeindliche Parole \"ausländerfrei\". Das erste Unwort des Jahres war geboren, ein Begriff, der im Zusammenhang mit rechtsextremen Krawallen im sächsischen Hoyerswerda gefallen war.\nKleine Worte, große Wirkung\nAuch heute noch arbeitet Schlosser mit einer sechsköpfigen Jury zusammen. Jeder der sechs Juroren erhält eine Liste mit den Vorschlägen der Bürger – im Schnitt sind es pro Jahr 1.700 Zuschriften – und darf daraus sechs Favoriten bestimmen. Anfang des Jahres wird dann über die Unwörter debattiert. Meist nur zwei Stunden, dann steht das neue Unwort fest.\nEgal auf welche Bezeichnung sich die Juroren einigen, sie können sich sicher sein, dass ihre Wahl eine große Wirkung hat. \"Fast alle deutschen Medien kommentieren den Begriff und die zur Auswahl stehenden Unwörter\", betont der Sprachwissenschaftler. \"Und häufig bekommen wir anschließend Ärger mit denjenigen, denen diese Unwörter zugeschrieben wurden.\" So habe das Bundeskanzleramt ein ganzes Jahr lang \"aus allen Rohren geschossen\", so Schlosser, als der Begriff \"kollektiver Freizeitpark\" des früheren Bundeskanzlers Helmut Kohl auf die Liste gesetzt worden sei. Kohl warf den deutschen Bürgern damals vor, sie würden weniger arbeiten und mehr Freizeit haben wollen als andere Nationen.\nDer SPD-Politiker Otto Schily drohte den Juroren laut Schlosser gar ein Strafgeld von 10.000 Euro an, weil sie ihn als Verfasser des Unwortes \"Begrüßungszentren\" für Flüchtlings-Auffanglager bezeichnet hatten. Es blieb aber bei der Drohung. \"Zum Glück war ich als Professor immer unabhängig\", sagt Schlosser, \"so konnte ich gelassen auf die Kritik aus Politik und Wirtschaft reagieren.\"\nSprachkritik als Bürgerrecht\nDem Wissenschaftler machen die teils heftigen Diskussionen über die Unwörter Spaß. Dafür sitzt er auch gerne nächtelang über den vielen Zuschriften. 2010 gab es allerdings weniger Zuschriften als in den letzten Jahren, was ihm etwas Sorgen macht. \"Ich hoffe nicht, dass unsere Aktion erste Lähmungserscheinungen zeigt.\" Bürger zeigten damit klar, das sie ernst genommen und ehrlich behandelt werden wollten. Für Schloser ist das \"Unwort des Jahres\" daher ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Demokratie.\nUnd es hat auch schon Erfolge gegeben. Etwa wenn es um das Thema \"Diäten\" geht. Seit \"Diätenanpassung\" zum Unwort des Jahres 1995 gewählt worden sei, werde der Begriff kaum noch verwendet, stattdessen sei offen von einer \"Diätenerhöhung\" die Rede – so die Beobachtung Schlossers. Kein Wunder also, dass der emeritierte Professor mit der sprachlichen \"Detektivarbeit\" gerne weitermachen möchte. Allerdings nicht als Chef: Ende des Jahres, so verrät er, wird Nina Janich von der Technischen Universität Darmstadt neue \"Meisterin der Unwörter\".\nAutorin: Sabine Damaschke\nRedaktion: Petra Lambeck", "url": "http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,6408545,00.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20110120015900/http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,6408545,00.html" } ]

Help Wikileaks fight to get the truth out and change the world for the better.\nFrom Wikileaks\nEDITORIAL\nThursday February 28, 2008\nJulius Baer Bank & Trust -- the Swiss-Cayman \"private banking\" entity currently attempting to sue Wikileaks before US Federal court Justice Jeffery White in San Francisco, today released a press release onto the Business Wire vanity wire service. The press release was subsequently picked up by Reuters and other wire services.\nWikileaks responds.\nJulius Baer Bank & Trust, from here on in, simply referred to as Baer, claimed in relation to Wikileaks:\n\"It wasn't our intention to shut down the Web site\".\nThis is a lie.\nBaer's requests to the court to do just that are a matter of public record. The only change made by Judge Jeffery White to Baer's proposed \"Wikileaks.org' takedown order was to cross out the word 'proposed'! Baer also wrote-for-the-judge a separate order in relation to the documents alone, which was similarly granted. Further, at any time subsequent Baer could have asked the court that its earlier request on the shutdown order be rescinded. It has not done so. While one might be tempted to blame the bank's Hollywood lawyers Lavely & Singer for running amuck, Baer continues to employ the same law firm. This can only be seen as an endorsement of its conduct.\nBaer claimed that:\n\"This decision was arrived at only after a month long effort on the part of Julius Baer.. to engage the operators of Wikileaks in a dialogue..\"\nThis is a lie.\nWikileaks responded with grace and speed to every one of Baer's highly irregular (see below) demands and left communication open. A full record is available as:\nThe last letter is from Wikileaks. The entire correspondence covers a period of two days. Baer did not submit the correspondence to the court for hearing although it was absolutely central to the issues and Wikileaks was not represented. A clear abuse of process.\nWikileaks is confident about its place in the court of public opinion, but the shadowy Swiss-Cayman \"Bank and Trust\" Baer, has been allergic to the sun from the very beginning. The first sign of this hyper-sensitivity to light was when its lawyers, Lavely & Singer refused to put their demands in writing -- even email -- as requested. The second sign was when the same lawyers refused to even identify their client!\nFinally Baer's (as it turned out) lawyers refused to even state what city they would be taking their threatened action in so Wikileaks could arrange representation in that city, instead preferring to abuse process and arrange a hearing where Wikileaks was not represented. But don't take our word for it -- see the submissions to the court by our then pre-litigation council Julie Turner and:\nIt is Baer who decided to hire Hollywood lawyers Lavely & Singer, who like to describe themselves as \"all-around bad cop for stars from Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger to Jim Carrey and Celine Dion.\". It is Baer who stood by these lawyers while they abused process with the assistance of a negligent Judge. It is Baer who has refused to make amends for its misdeeds and it is Baer who is now suffering, and will continue to suffer the consequences.\nBaer \"has form\" in engaging in quasi-criminal conduct not just in relation to offshore banking. Swiss court records reveal Baer hired Zurich-based private detectives Ryffel AG to follow the alleged whistleblower Rudolf Elmer while he took his daughters to primary school. The police apprehended one of the PIs in a car chase. The chase became a matter of public record in a Dec 2007 case in Switzerland — as did Baer's attempts to bribe the suspected whistleblower into keeping quiet. See:\nBaer claimed that:\n\"The posting of confidential bank records by anonymous sources significantly harms the privacy rights of all individuals.\"\nThis is misrepresentation.\nBaer likes to spin the documents as 'bank records' and never likes to talk about the dates concerned. The documents are nearly all Microsoft Word files setting up trust arrangements used as anonymizing shell structures. In its court filings, Baer claims to have been aware of the documents release since 2003 and the Swiss media had the documents in 2005. The only relevence these documents have now is that they expose the bank's ultra-rich clients suspiciously funneling money through Cayman Islands trusts nearly a decade ago.\nWikileaks took a skeptical position on the documents until attacked by the bank.

In the last couple of weeks, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has been assaulted, President Clinton shouted down, and the Bill Maher program interrupted. The mainstream media has been largely silent in condemning these actions. And some loons are even encouraging them.\nA columnist at \"The Seattle Post Intelligencer\", a radical left newspaper, said this about the San Francisco church arrest. \"I can understand the power of the image to someone who sees the church as an oppressive institution. On the other hand.it's still arson.\"\nIncredibly, the loon who wrote that, Dorothy Parvaz, is on the editorial board at \"The Seattle PI\". And we asked the publisher Roger Oglesby to comment. He would not. Here is his e-mail address if you would like to send a comment to him. [email protected]. Please keep it respectful.\nWe also asked San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom to comment. Here's what he said today about the gay militants who violated the Catholic Church.\n(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)\nGAVIN NEWSOM (D), SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR: The only person, it seems, in the United States that was fixated and focused on it was FOX News and Bill O'Reilly. Not one human being in San Francisco came to me and said, my gosh, mayor, do you know what happened in church today? Do I think it was the right thing? No. Do I think it was helpful — respectful? No, absolutely not.\nSo that's my personal opinion. That's been my professional opinion. But at the end of the day, I wasn't going to make it a federal offense and stop the presses and stop our work on homelessness, healthcare, and education just to respond to Bill O'Reilly.\n(END VIDEO CLIP)\nYou know, what a - you know, mayor, people have a right to worship in your city uninterrupted. The fact that you failed to condemn that activity means and shows you are a coward and obviously irresponsible. But what else is new?\nAmerica has an honorable tradition of dissent, but anarchy does not fit into that category. These far-left loons are dangerous. Something must be done. And that's \"The Memo\".\nPinheads and Patriots\nThe taser guy, Andrew Meyer, has pled out for disrupting a John Kerry speech at the University of Florida. He gets probation. And if he stays out of trouble, his record will be cleared.\nToday Mr. Meyer said this.\n(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)\nANDREW MEYER, UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA STUDENT: You know, I did step out of line at the forum. A broke the forum rules, and I want to apologize for that.\nI also want to apologize for the negative light this whole incident has cast on the university. Nothing like this has ever happened at the university before. Nothing like this ever happened to me.\nUNIDENTIFIED MALE: So wait, let me make sure — Were you wrong or were the police who tasered you wrong? What's your opinion on that?\nMEYER: You know, I think — I think that the police were acting — they were doing their job is what they're trying to do.\n(END VIDEO CLIP)\nAll right. For that contrition, Andrew Meyer is a patriot, as \"The Factor\" believes in redemption. Plus, our \"Don't Taze Me, Bro\" bumper stickers have raised thousands for charity, thanks to Mr. Meyer. And you can get them on BillOReilly.com. So we're glad — we're glad he's a patriot.\nOn the pinhead front, raucous bounty hunter Duane \"Dog\" Chapman apparently doesn't approve of his son dating a woman of color and left a voicemail.\n(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)\nDUANE \"DOG\" CHAPMAN, BOUNTY HUNTER: It's not because she's black, it's because we use the word (EXPLETIVE DELETED) sometimes here. I'm not going to take a chance ever in life of losing everything I've worked for for 30 years because some (EXPLETIVE DELETED) (EXPLETIVE DELETED) heard us say (EXPLETIVE DELETED) and turned us into the Enquirer magazine. Our career is over. I'm not taking that chance at all, never in life.\"\n(END VIDEO CLIP)\nA&E has suspended his program, because he is a pinhead.\n—You can catch Bill O'Reilly's \"Talking Points Memo\" and \"Most Ridiculous Item\" weeknights at 8 and 11 p.m. ET on the FOX News Channel and any time on foxnews.com/oreilly.

As you may know, San Francisco is run by far left secular-progressives who despise the military, traditional values and religion. Not everybody in San Francisco feels that way, but certainly the power structure does. Time and again, we have brought you stories of outrageous behavior on the part of militant people living in that city.\nNow, things have reached critical mass, no pun intended. Last Sunday, at the Catholic Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, Archbishop George Niederauer was celebrating mass. As part of that ritual, holy communion is given to Catholics by the celebrants. Two gay militants in bizarre dress took communion from the archbishop in an attempt to mock the mass and the man. — The people who did this are members of a militant homosexual group that runs around San Francisco dressed as nuns.\nAll city officials are aware of the group because in the past they have publicly demeaned Christianity. The Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, has refused to comment.\nThe District Attorney, Kamala Harris, says she is waiting for a complaint to be filed.\nThe Catholic Church says it will do its own investigation and doesn't want the police involved at this point. The archbishop has apologized, saying he's embarrassed and sorry he gave communion to people committing sacrilege.\nBut it really is not the archbishop's fault. — He is an elderly man who was taken by surprise. The fault here lies with the leadership of San Francisco. Mayor Newsom has consistently avoided criticizing behavior that is harmful. He hides under his desk and attacks messengers like me:\nVOICE OF GAVIN NEWSOM (D), MAYOR, SAN FRANCISCO: Guys like Bill O'Reilly attack this city and use it as a way to attack Nancy Pelosi and \"San Francisco values\", it makes me sick to my stomach. How dare you attack this city because of a few exceptions, not the rule, in terms of where our elected officials are with relationship to the military.\nNow that comment came after I criticized Newsom for refusing to allow the Marines to film a commercial on city streets. By the way, the comment had nothing to do with Nancy Pelosi.\nAgain, we've invited Mayor Newsom on the program, we've asked for a statement about the Catholic situation but the mayor is consistent. He condones terrible behavior by refusing to confront it.\nIncredibly, the San Francisco media has blacked out the story, refused to report it; with the exception of KNEW Radio. If a mosque had been attacked like this, if a synagogue had been defiled, this would have been page one not only in the San Francisco Chronicle but in every liberal newspaper in the country. Instead, there is no reporting on a violation of a church service by those militants.\n\"Talking Points\" believes all Americans should take a very hard look at what is happening in San Francisco. Certainly the 65 million American Catholics should be deeply offended by the city's behavior.\nEnough is enough. Desecrating a Catholic Mass or any other religious service is unacceptable in the United States of America.\nAnd that's \"The Memo.\"\nPinheads and Patriots\nMost Americans understand how very tough it is for our military people in Iraq and Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the media concentrates on the bad things and not the bravery of our forces.\nThis man, 29-year-old Lieutenant Michael Murphy, a Navy SEAL from Long Island, New York, was killed in Afghanistan in 2005 during a mission hunting a key Taliban leader. After being wounded, he made a radio call for help that led to the rescue of another wounded SEAL.\nFor his service, Lieutenant Murphy will receive the Medal of Honor. Obviously, he was a patriot, and we're glad we could honor him tonight.\nOn the pinhead front: our pal Snoop Dogg, a man with11 criminal arrests, has been sentenced on his latest weapons charge. The Snoop-meister has to perform 160 hours of community service, including picking up trash. Since he is very familiar with trash, it shouldn't be much of a problem.\nSnoop Dogg is a pinhead.\n—You can catch Bill O'Reilly's \"Talking Points Memo\" and \"Most Ridiculous Item\" weeknights at 8 and 11 p.m. ET on the FOX News Channel and any time on foxnews.com/oreilly.

Most Holy Redeemer Parish has a lamentable reputation of having caved in to demands of homosexual activists. One group of homosexual activists which until recently operated regularly out of the parish was called \"Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence\", men who wear makeup and dress as Catholic nuns. Archbishop Niederauer was filmed giving two members of this group Holy Communion on Sunday.\nThe \"Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence\", whose motto is \"go and sin some more\" and describes itself as a \"leading-edge order of queer nuns,\" planned to hold regular bingo games at Most Holy Redeemer Parish until Catholic activists reported the plans to the press. A local homosexual newspaper, the San Francisco Bay Times, reported that the events at the parish included sexually explicit activities. Prizes included porn DVDs and \"sex toys\" the paper said.\nSince then the parish has refused the \"Sisters\" use of its facilities. However, according to local Catholic activists some of the \"Sisters\" continue to attend services at the church.\nAnthony Gonzales, president of St. Joseph's Men Society, a group which has taken action to curb outrageous anti-Catholic activities within local Catholic churches, spoke with LifeSiteNews.com about the incident Sunday. Gonzales said that his group decided to film the event and \"let the evidence speak for itself.\"\n\"This was such a blasphemous action within a Catholic Church by an Archbishop representing Roman Catholicism it would make Judas blush,\" Gonzales told LifeSiteNews.com. \"To hand over our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to known practicing and promoting sodomites, in the middle of a 'gay-friendly Mass' is beyond the pale.\nGonzales said his group is calling on the Vatican to take action. \"The Vatican has to react to this and has to remove him from office,\" he said.\nGonzales' group has not yet been able to post their video online. However, a separate video of the event has been placed online by the Catholic blogsite Quamdiu Domine and is available here: http://www.qdomine.com/Morality_pages/MHR.htm\nLifeSiteNews.com contacted the office of Archbishop Niederauer for a response to the accusations. A statement by Archbishop Niederauer sent to LifeSiteNews.com by Archdiocesan communications director Maurice Healy says that the Archbishop did not notice any \"mock religious garb.\"\n\"At Most Holy Redeemer Church Oct. 7, I noticed no protest, no demonstration, no disruption of the Sunday Eucharist,\" said Archbishop Niederauer. \"The congregation was devout and the liturgy was celebrated with reverence. Toward the end of the Communion line two strangely dressed persons came to receive Communion. I did not see any mock religious garb. As I recall, one of them wore a large flowered hat or garland.\"\nThe \"Sisters\" were heavily involved in the recent Folsom Street Fair which in addition to full nudity and public sex acts by homosexuals involved included a mockery of the Last Supper with Christ and his apostles represented by leather-clad homosexuals. Bishop Niederauer stressed that he had denounced the poster. \"In the past when the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence or other groups have ridiculed the Church I have denounced their actions,\" said the Archbishop. \"Only a week ago, Catholic San Francisco carried my remarks condemning the derisive use of the Last Supper on a poster printed by some other local group.\"\nAmericans for Truth, an Illinois based national pro-family group has joined in the call to have Vatican authorities made aware of the scandal.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Government Backers Retake Buildings in Kyrgyzstan", "text": "MOSCOW — A chaotic day of deadly street violence in southern Kyrgyzstan ended Friday with the interim government’s retaking control of administration buildings in two southern cities.\nThe buildings were overrun a day earlier by followers of the former president, Kurmanbek Bakiyev, who was toppled in an uprising a month ago. The interim government established in the wake of that unrest has consolidated power in the capital, Bishkek, but still has a tenuous hold on the south, the homeland of Mr. Bakiyev.\nAt least one person was killed and 37 were wounded Friday in exchanges of gunfire between supporters of Mr. Bakiyev and those backing the interim government. Crowds on both sides included dozens of armed men, witnesses said.\nThe interim leader, Roza Otunbayeva, blamed Mr. Bakiyev for the uprising in the south, the most serious challenge yet to the new government. A former adviser of Mr. Bakiyev was arrested and accused of fomenting unrest.\n“The former president again spilled the blood of Kyrgyz citizens,” Ms. Otunbayeva said in a statement carried by local news media.\nGovernment officials said Thursday that they would not use police force, but instead would encourage supporters to swarm into the buildings held by armed followers of Mr. Bakiyev. The result was a strange tableau of violence as the pro-government groups — some peaceful and some armed with sticks, rocks and rifles — stormed the government buildings while uniformed police officers and special forces largely stayed on the sidelines, witnesses said. The loyalty of those forces in the south has been in question.\nKyrgyzstan, in Central Asia, is the home of a base used to supply the United States-led war in Afghanistan.\nThe turmoil seems likely to continue. The violence is emblematic of the challenges facing the small group of people who proclaimed themselves the interim government. They are unelected and have no formal legitimacy, and it remains unclear whom the police and the army are siding with, particularly in the south.\nThe danger of violent uprising is heightened because the population is bristling with guns. Legal gun ownership in Kyrgyzstan is restricted to hunting firearms, but many households in rural areas keep Kalashnikov rifles owing to a history of ethnic fighting in the region. Also, an Interior Ministry arsenal was looted during the April 7 uprising, scattering hundreds of small arms.\nThe worst violence on Friday unfolded in Jalal-Abad, near the former president’s home village.\nThe first shots there were fired as a group of pro-government protesters walked toward the administration building, Asylbek Tekebayev, a supporter of the interim government, said in a telephone interview.\nMr. Tekebayev said the two sides shot at each other across the city’s central square in front of the administration building, at a distance of about 150 yards.\n“It was horrible,” he said. “The bullets were hitting people in the back, in the side, they were falling and tripping, and everybody started to run.” By late afternoon, the crowd, which Mr. Tekebayev said included at least half a dozen men with rifles, regrouped.\nThe opposing groups also exchanged fire over control of a university building where the pro-Bakiyev group had positioned snipers, according to news agencies, which reported three wounded in that shootout.\nThe Kyrgyz Health Ministry said hospitals in Jalal-Abad admitted 37 people wounded in the fighting. The ministry said one man had died from gunshot wounds and five were in grave condition.\nA political party leader in the south who is loyal to the interim government, Batyrbek Abdrazakov, said that by the evening pro-government groups had full control of the government building, the Interfax news agency reported.\nThe United States Embassy in Bishkek issued a statement urging restraint on both sides.\n“We continue to encourage all parties to refrain from violence and express hope that Kyrgyzstan can move forward on a productive and democratic path,” the statement said.\nAfter the buildings were stormed on Thursday, a committee that said it represented Mr. Bakiyev’s supporters issued a statement in which it claimed to have wide support in the south and called for his return to power.\nDemonstrators had shoved their way into buildings not only in Jalal-Abad, but also in Osh and Batken. The three cities are the regional capitals of southern Kyrgyzstan. In Batken, the protesters eventually left the building, under unclear circumstances.\nAfter taking over the government building in Osh on Thursday, demonstrators escorted the former governor, Mamasadyk Bakirov, back into his office, which had been occupied by the appointee of the interim government, Sooronbai Zheenbekov. By Friday afternoon, Mr. Zheenbekov was back in his office, the Kabar news agency in Kyrgyzstan reported.\nTo try to re-establish control over the south, the defense minister, Ismail Isakov, was sent to Osh and granted new powers as a governor general for the three southern districts, according to Edil Baisalov, the interim government’s chief of staff.\nAfter protesters seized government buildings, including the president’s office, last month in Bishkek Mr. Bakiyev fled to the south before going into exile.

Hundreds of Kurmanbek Bakiyev's supporters took over buildings in Osh and Jalalabad, but the new government said it had regained control in Batken. Reports suggested airports in Osh and Jalalabad had also been disrupted. Allies of Mr Bakiyev said they had 25,000 supporters in the south, ready to march on Bishkek. The president was overthrown last month in an uprising that left at least 85 people dead. The provisional government has launched several criminal proceedings against the former president, who is now in Belarus with his family. But tensions remain high nationwide, as the government attempts to assert its authority on the country. Embassy recalls This is the biggest challenge so far for the provisional government, reports BBC Central Asia correspondent Rayhan Demytrie. Last week there were reports that leaflets had been distributed in southern Kyrgyzstan calling for the formation of a \"southern Kyrgyz democratic republic\". The interim government said it was in control of the situation and had sent its defence minister to help restore order. In another development, all diplomats from the Belarussian embassy in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek were recalled because of security concerns. The move followed a number of small demonstrations in front of the embassy in which people demanded the extradition Mr Bakiyev. 'Bakiyev - our president' The government buildings in Osh were stormed by some 250 Bakiyev supporters on Thursday morning. They scuffled briefly with supporters of the new government before smashing their way through the glass doors and entering the building, but the police did not intervene. Kurmanbek Bakiyev is now in Belarus Sacked regional governor Mamsadyk Bakirov was said to be among the protesters, who were demanding his reinstatement. Reports from Jalalabad - Mr Bakiyev's home city - said around 100 of the ousted president's supporters had broken into and occupied local government buildings there. Jalalabad's new governor was seized by the crowd. He had gone to the scene in the hope of talking to them but was then \"put in a car and taken away\" to an unknown location, an unnamed official told AFP news agency. Reports say the protesters in Jalalabad were mainly women and security forces were taking care not to interfere. They chanted \"Bakiyev - our president\" and hung a banner reading \"Bakiyev, the legal president of Kyrgyzstan\" on the administrative building. Batken's administrative building was also seized but the provisional government later said it had retaken control of the situation in the city while \"work [was] under way on Osh and Jalalabad\". On Wednesday, a protest was held in the capital Bishkek in which supporters of the city's former mayor demanded his return. A body calling itself the \"committee in defence of ousted Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev\" told reporters that 25,000 people in the south were ready to march on Bishkek and \"deal with the provisional government\". Its press service was quoted by Russia's Interfax news agency as saying that they were \"ready to gather in Jalalabad\" for the march north.\nBookmark with: Delicious\nDigg\nreddit\nFacebook\nStumbleUpon What are these?

He is in exile in Belarus, but he retains support in his homeland in the south of the country, where discontent has been rising.\nKyrgyzstan, a landlocked mountainous nation in the heart of Central Asia, hosts a military base important to the United States’ war efforts in Afghanistan. Russia, which considers Kyrgyzstan within its sphere of influence, has opposed the base.\nA committee that said it represented Mr. Bakiyev’s supporters issued a statement on Thursday in which it claimed to have wide support in the south, news agencies reported. The committee said the former president’s supporters would soon head north to “confront the interim government” in the capital, Bishkek.\nIt was not clear whether the military took steps on Thursday to position troops to block the roads north to the capital. The unrest in the south began with street protests that led to the storming of the government buildings, following a now familiar pattern in Kyrgyz politics.\nDemonstrators shoved their way into buildings in the cities of Osh, Jalal-Abad and Batken, the three regional capitals of southern Kyrgyzstan, which is separated from the capital and the north of the country by a rugged mountain chain. In Batken, the protesters eventually left the building.\nAfter taking over a government building in Osh, demonstrators escorted the former governor, Mamasadyk Bakirov, back into his office, which had been occupied by an appointee of the interim government earlier in the day.

The health ministry said one person died after surgery for a gunshot wound and at least 37 other people were injured, Reuters news agency reports. Residents in the city have closed shops and businesses and returned home for safety, the BBC's Central Asia correspondent Rayhan Demytrie reports. Earlier, the government-backed regional governor in Osh re-entered the offices backed by hundreds of supporters. They reclaimed the building from the Bakiyev supporters, some 250 of whom stormed the offices on Thursday demanding the reinstatement of regional governor Mamsadyk Bakirov, who had been sacked by the government. There were some scuffles between the rival sides but no serious injuries, reports said. The interim government says it is in control of the situation and has sent its defence minister to help restore order. But there are fears that skirmishes and clashes between the two opposing groups could bring more violence to the country, our correspondent adds.\nBookmark with: Delicious\nDigg\nreddit\nFacebook\nStumbleUpon What are these?

W pisanych przez Nią wierszach znajdowaliśmy błyskotliwe rady, dzięki którym świat stawał się bardziej zrozumiały. Czytaliśmy kolejne tomiki, by poczuć ten charakterystyczny dystans do rzeczywistości, aby czerpać radość z przeżywania zwyczajnych sytuacji. Pani Wisława pokazywała nam, jak ważne jest szukanie wartości w codziennej krzątaninie, pośród momentów, których na co dzień nie zauważamy. Mamy w pamięci fragment Jej mowy noblowskiej, w którym przekonywała, że w języku potocznym mówimy o \"zwykłym życiu\", ale tak naprawdę \"nic już zwyczajne i normalne nie jest. Żaden kamień i żadna nad nim chmura. Żaden dzień i żadna po nim noc. A nade wszystko żadne niczyje na tym świecie istnienie\".

This gives individuals and bodies an opportunity to oppose the bill or to seek its amendment before a Select Committee in either or in both Houses.\nCan I oppose the bill?\nDuring the passage of the bill through Parliament there will be an opportunity for individuals, groups and organisations who are especially and directly affected by the bill to \"petition\" against it. Those who are successful may have their arguments heard by a Select Committee.\nWhat is a petition?\nA petition in this context is not a public petition (a paper headed “we the undersigned .....” followed by many signatures). It is a document, in a particular format, outlining how you are affected by the bill and why you think it shouldn’t be proceeded with or how you would like it altered. The format is important but any ordinary person will be able to write one if they follow the instructions which are available below.\nWhat stage has the Crossrail bill got to?\nThe Crossrail Bill and the Environmental Statement were published on 22 February, 2005. Consultation on the ES was invited by the DfT. The results were published on the DfT website before the Second Reading of the Bill which took place on 19 July 2005. The Environmental Statement can be found on the Crossrail Bill Supporting Documents site which can be accessed from the website homepage.\nBecause of the General Election in May 2005 a carry over motion was passed in Parliament in April, and the Bill re-introduced on May 18, 2005.\nA further Supplementary Environmental Statement was published in May 2005.\nOn 19 July 2005, there was a successful Second Reading of the Crossrail Bill and the Bill was formally committed to a Select Committee which will consider petitions lodged against the Bill.A deadline of 16 September was set for the submission of petitions.\nThe Committee began hearing the cases of petitioners against the bill on 17th January.

Borlaug\nCOLLEGE STATION - Norman E. Borlaug, who received the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize for developing high-yielding, disease-resistant wheat used to prevent famine in developing countries throughout the world, died shortly before 11 p.m. from complications of cancer in Dallas.\nBorlaug, whose career was dedicated to using science to combat world hunger, was Distinguished Professor of International Agriculture in Texas A&M; University's department of soil and crop sciences. He was 95.\nThe memorial service, which will be held at Texas A&M; in College Station, is pending.\nIn 2007, Borlaug received the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian honor of the United States. This capped a string of major awards and honors throughout his scientific and humanitarian career.\n\"We all eat at least three times a day in privileged nations, and yet we take food for granted,\" Borlaug said in a recent interview. \"There has been great progress, and food is more equitably distributed. But hunger is commonplace, and famine appears all too often.\"\nUntil recently, Borlaug still traveled internationally working tirelessly for improvements in agricultural science and food policy. He regularly could be found in his office on campus in College Station advising students and providing counsel to fellow faculty members on research and scholarship.\nHis childhood days were spent on an Iowa farm, influenced by his Norwegian grandfather's lessons on common sense. At the University of Minnesota, where he began his college education during the Depression of the 1930s, he was told his high school education had not prepared him properly in science and math. He failed an entrance exam and was placed in the General College.\nBut that experience made Borlaug work hard on his studies. He earned meals as a restaurant waiter and paid for tuition and books by saving money from summer jobs. Borlaug also received his master's and doctorate degrees in plant pathology from University of Minnesota.\nDuring World War II, Borlaug was in charge of industrial and agricultural chemical research for a DuPont laboratory. In 1944, after his release from the War Manpower Commission, he became a scientist for the Cooperative Wheat Research and Production Program - a joint venture between the Rockefeller Foundation and the Mexican government which began his life-long passion for international agriculture.\nThis project became the institution known as CIMMYT, Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo (The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) near Mexico City. In this program, he introduced scientific techniques for preventing famine in Mexico and began bringing into the program promising young scientists, later named “Borlaug Interns.”\nHe used the lessons learned in Mexico later to disprove 1960s doomsday predictions of mass famine throughout South and East Asia.\nBy this time, “Borlaug Interns” were coming from many countries, and these interns were instrumental in implementing what was later named the “Green Revolution” in wheat production. Today, India and Pakistan are self-sufficient in food production due to Borlaug's interventions. In 1970, he received the Nobel Peace Prize for this work recognizing that agricultural productivity has a pivotal role in creating stability and preventing conflict.\nIn 1986, he created the World Food Prize to give recognition to the work of scientists and humanitarians who have contributed to advancing international agriculture and fighting world hunger. Borlaug's most recent international work was cooperative efforts with CIMMYT, in Mexico and the Sasakawa Africa Association program. One of his favorite parts of the World Food Prize celebration each October was the success of the Youth Institute. In 1984, Borlaug came to Texas A&M; as Distinguished Professor of International Agriculture, dividing his time between College Station each fall to teach and at CIMMYT in Mexico each spring where he continued research and participation in global efforts to reduce world hunger.\nBorlaug’s passions extended beyond agriculture. He loved sports and started Little League Baseball in Mexico City so that his then-young son, William Gibson Borlaug, could play while the family was living there. Borlaug was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1992. He was also passionate about training, mentoring and challenging young scientists, instilling in them the desire to teach and adopt science-based practices that increase the world’s food supply and thus serve mankind by leading to a more peaceful world.\nAt Texas A&M; in 2006, the Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture was named in his honor. The institute strives to continue Borlaug's legacy by promoting science-based solutions for the world's agriculture and food challenges. The Borlaug Institute is currently working in some of the world's most challenging agricultural development environments such as Afghanistan, Guatemala, Ethiopia and Iraq.\nBorlaug was preceded in death by his wife, Margaret. He is survived by daughter Jeanie Borlaug Laube and her husband Rex, and son William Gibson Borlaug and his wife Barbie. He also is survived by a sister, Charlotte Culbert of Iowa, grandson William Richard Rhoda and wife Stephanie, and four granddaughters: Tiffany Borlaug Rubi and husband John, Julie Borlaug Larson and husband Dave, Jennifer Rhoda Marsh and husband Dan, and Natalie Howe Borlaug; and great-grandchildren Kyle Rhoda, Matthew Rhoda, Nicholas Rhoda, Anne Borlaug Rubi and Peter Dierks Rubi, and Luke Borlaug Larson.\n“It is the hope of the Borlaug family that his life be an example to all. We would like his life be a model for making a difference in the lives of others and to bring about efforts to end human misery for all mankind,” his children stated. “One of his favorite quotes was ‘reach for the stars. Although you will never touch them, if you reach hard enough, you will find that you get a little ‘star dust’ on you in the process!’”\nThe family has requested that in lieu of flowers, memorials to the Borlaug International Scholars Fund.

Korea invites IAEA on an open-ended journey to denuclearization\nBy Byun Duk-kun\nSEOUL, June 18 (Yonhap) -- After nearly a two-month delay, North Korea has invited inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to discuss verifying the North's suspension of nuclear operations at Yongbyon, but observers say the inspectors' trip could be open-ended.\nIn a report carried by North Korea's Korean Central News Agency on Saturday, Ri Je-son, director-general of the North's General Department of Atomic Energy, said he has invited a working-level group of the IAEA to verify and monitor \"the suspension of the operations of nuclear facilities at Yongbyon.\"\nThe U.N. nuclear watchdog confirmed the invitation Sunday, while U.S. and South Korean negotiators in nuclear disarmament talks with the North expressed hope that an inspection team would arrive in the communist nation by the end of the week.\nThe North's invitation of IAEA inspectors is part of a six-nation agreement signed in February, under which Pyongyang promised to shut down and seal the Yongbyon complex, the site of the North's only operational nuclear reactor, a 5-megawatt graphite-moderated reactor.\nUnder the February agreement, also signed by South Korea, the U.S., Japan, China and Russia, North Korea would also close down its radiochemical laboratory, a facility for testing and reprocessing of radioactive chemicals, a nuclear fuel rod fabrication plant and a storage facility for fuel rods at Yongbyon.\nThe Yongbyon site is also the home of a larger, partially constructed 50-megawatt reactor, which North Korea agreed to shut down and seal in the February agreement, but Seoul officials have said the other four facilities - radiochemical laboratory, test facility for radioactive chemicals, rod fabrication plant and rod storage facility - are what they are really interested in shutting down.\n\"Once the North shuts down the graphite-moderated reactor and the fuel rod fabrication plant, it will no longer be able to produce plutonium and that is what we are interested in,\" an official closely involved in the six-nation nuclear talks told reporters on condition of anonymity.\nOfficials here believe the shutdown of the Yongbyon complex will soon take place as agreed. Pyongyang has repeatedly reaffirmed its willingness to implement the measures scheduled for the first 60 days in the Feb. 13 agreement immediately after its funds previously frozen at a Macau bank were released.\nThe North's US$25 million at Macau's Banco Delta Asia were released late last week and routed to a North Korean account in a Russian bank. Whether the money has arrived yet has not been confirmed, but the head of the North's nuclear agency said his country believes the banking issue \"has reached its final phase.\"\nThe shutdown of the nuclear facilities would be the most significant progress since the nuclear disarmament talks with Pyongyang began early in 2003.\nNuclear negotiators and other officials have said what takes place after the shutdown is the disablement and the eventual dismantlement of the North's nuclear facilities and programs.\nFew, however, are willing to estimate how long the next phase will take, or whether it will ever take place.\nIn the February agreement, North Korea agreed to disable the Yongbyon facilities and submit a complete list of all its nuclear programs to the IAEA.\nThat step would let the U.N. nuclear watchdog and the other countries in the six-nation talks know what North Korea has and what needs to be done to remove the existing facilities, nuclear materials and programs.\nWhether North Korea would actually agree to dismantle the programs depends on future negotiations.\nAnother potentially time-consuming issue could arise, exacerbated by the lack of trust between Pyongyang and Washington, the main antagonists in the nuclear negotiations.\nThe United States believes the North has a uranium enrichment program aimed at producing weapons, an accusation North Korea has consistently denied since the outset of the nuclear dispute in late 2002.\nWashington believes the North possesses more than 50 kilograms of plutonium, enough to make 10 to 12 nuclear weapons.\nFew believe Pyongyang would be completely honest in declaring its plutonium stockpile, let alone give it up.\[email protected]\n(END)", "url": "http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/northkorea/2007/06/18/81/0401000000AEN20070618003700315F.HTML", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20070701233718/http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/northkorea/2007/06/18/81/0401000000AEN20070618003700315F.HTML" } ]

Ello, pues por el momento sólo pueden acceder al Acuerdo de Unión de Civil, el cual no les permite ni adoptar ni les entrega plenos derechos filiativos.\nEn ese sentido, Oscar Rementería, vocero de la organización dijo a Emol que “no estamos hablando de un matrimonio aparte: estamos hablando del mismo matrimonio extendido a parejas del mismo sexo, que además debe considerar un montón de otras normas legales relacionadas con el matrimonio, que tienen que ser modificadas porque solo contemplaban hombre y mujer”.\n“Cualquier persona en Chile no puede tener dos papás o dos mamás al mismo tiempo, y eso es lo que cambia con el proyecto que se va a enviar mañana y que no necesariamente tiene que ver con el matrimonio en sí”, declara respecto al tema de la filiación.", "url": "https://www.publimetro.cl/cl/noticias/2017/08/27/este-lunes-presentaran-proyecto-matrimonio-igualitario-incluye-adopcion-homosexuales.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20170828063550/https://www.publimetro.cl/cl/noticias/2017/08/27/este-lunes-presentaran-proyecto-matrimonio-igualitario-incluye-adopcion-homosexuales.html" } ]

Mai 2007 9Live in Ismaning bei Muenchen Sie wollen, dass Sie anrufen. 9Live, Viva, DSF. 50 Cent der Anruf, ob Sie durchkommen oder nicht - und die Zuschauer rufen an. Eine ältere Dame spielt beim Marktführer 9Live und zahlt. 50 Cent pro Anruf.\nMitschnitt bei 9Live:\nAch Gott ich habe heute Mittag schon 300 mal angerufen.\nModerator: Bitte was?\nAnruferin: Man kommt nicht rein.\nAnruferin: 3.100 Euro\nModerator: Haben Sie gewonnen?\nAnruferin: Nein, Telefonkosten\nModerator: Also, entweder Sie machen was falsch oder ich.\nDer 9Live-Moderator gibt sich besorgt, trotzdem gibt der Sender alles, damit kräftig angerufen wird. 9Live hält sich dabei nicht an die Spielregeln der Medienwächter. Dort heißt es klipp und klar: „Die Aufforderung zum Mitmachen darf keinen besonderen Anreiz zu wiederholtem Anrufen enthalten.“ Mitschnitt bei 9Live:\n„Selbst, wenn Sie es jetzt 3,4, 10 oder 15 mal probieren sollten: Jeder Anruf kann der richtige sein. Und jeder Anruf kann hier eine Leitung treffen. Und gibt es jetzt noch einen Zuschauer, der ein Tier hat, der wählt jetzt, bis die Finger bluten.“\nMit immer neuen Countdowns und Einblendungen der Uhrzeit wird dem Zuschauer suggeriert, dass er genau jetzt anrufen müsste. Dabei ist das auch nicht zulässig, wie die Spielregeln der Medienwächter festhalten: „Der Aufbau von nicht vorhandenem Zeitdruck ist unzulässig.“ Regeln und Tatsachen Mit Regeln hält es 9Live nicht so genau. Das bestätigen ehemalige Mitarbeiter von 9Live, die sich erstmals in der Öffentlichkeit äußern. Ein Moderator und eine Redakteurin erzählen uns von Missständen bei Deutschlands erstem Quizsender.\n„Das ist meiner Meinung nach moralisch verwerflich, und stolz bin ich nicht drauf, dass ich da gearbeitet habe“, erklärt eine ehemalige Redakteurin. Auch ein ehemaliger Redakteur findet keinen Gefallen an den dort greifenden Mechanismen: „Das ist eine Geschichte, die mir selber so auch nicht gefallen hat, aber: That‘s Showbusiness.“ Der Hot Button: Zufall oder Kalkül? Kern eines jeden Gewinnspielsenders ist der Hot Button. Ein angeblicher Zufallsgenerator, der die Anrufer auswählt. Genau an diesem Instrument entscheidet es sich, wie sauber, wie ehrlich das Gewinnspiel ist.\n19 Uhr. 9Live. Der Hot Button ist gestartet. Trotzdem wartet Moderator Jürgen vergeblich auf den nächsten Zuschauer, der ihm Tiere nennt, die mit MA beginnen. Stundenlang geht das so. Nichts passiert. 22 Uhr. Jetzt mit Moderator Max das gleiche Spiel: Kein Anrufer kommt durch. Die Vorgaben der Medienwächter sind klar: In den Anwendungsregeln heißt es: „Nach Auslösung des technischen Mechanismus wählt dieser ... zu einem beliebigen Zeitpunkt eine beliebige stehende Telefonleitung zur Durchstellung in die Sendung (Hot Button Buzzer) aus.“\n23 Uhr 18, auch nach über vier Stunden wurde noch kein Zuschauer durchgestellt.\nKein Wunder: der Zeitpunkt soll eben nicht beliebig sein, der Hot Button soll zu einem festgelegten Zeitpunkt zu schlagen, so der Insider. Der ehemalige Redakteur erklärt gegenüber plusminus: „Der Redakteur selber entscheidet, wann der Hot Button zuschlägt. Wenn der Redakteur der Meinung ist, auf Grund der gegebenen Umstände, das passt jetzt, das ist okay jetzt, jetzt kann ich einen reinlassen, dann entscheidet der Redakteur, und lässt einen Anrufer durchstellen.“\nDer Redakteur sitzt in der Regie von 9Live. Hier wird entschieden, wann der vermeintliche Zufallsmoment stattfindet. Redakteure bei 9Live haben vor allem eins im Blick: Die Zahl der Anrufe. Eine ehemalige Redakteurin berichtet von ihren Erfahrungen: „Wenn man als Anfängerredakteur da oben sitzt, und man möchte spontan, weil gerade so viele Leute anrufen, jemanden vom Call Center durchstellen lassen, dann steht immer ein erfahrener Redakteur hinter einem und sagt: ‚Bist du blöd. Mach das nicht. Lass die kommen. So lange wie das steigt, jeden mitnehmen. Das heißt alle, die gerade anrufen betrügt man um ihr Glück und erst wenn sie das Interesse verlieren schaltet man einen rein.“ Schweigen bei 9Live Marktführer 9Live will sich vor der Kamera nicht zu den Vorwürfen äußern. Schriftlich teilt uns das Münchner Unternehmen mit: „9Live [stellt] über unterschiedliche – auch technische – Systeme sicher, dass für Anrufer in unseren Gewinnspielen jederzeit die Chance besteht, ausgewählt und ins Studio gestellt zu werden.“\nDie Beschwerden von Zuschauern häufen sich. Vergangenen Donnerstag haben die Landesmedienanstalten die Gewinnspielsender nach München geladen, aber richtig durchgreifen können sie nicht. Norbert Schneider von der Landesmedienanstalt NRW bedauert die fehlende Verbindlichkeit: „Im Moment ist alles im Modus der Verabredungen. Und wenn sich bei Verabredungen jemand nicht daran hält, dann können Sie nur sagen, DU bist moralisch nicht ganz in Ordnung, aber Sie können ihn nicht bestrafen. Das ist eine Sache für die Staatsanwälte.“ Fingierte Anrufe Staatsanwälte sollten sich sehr wohl für das 9Live-Programm interessieren, wenn die Vorwürfe stimmen, die die ehemalige 9Live-Redakteurin erhebt. Sie spricht sogar von fingierten Anrufen: „Fingierte Anrufe wurden schon einmal umgesetzt, wenn so gar keiner angerufen hat, und man wirklich ein paar Minuten mit einem leeren Peak da saß, dann wurde der Hot Button einfach per Sound eingespielt, und der Moderator hat dann gesagt: Oops, da hat wohl jemand wieder einer aufgelegt. In Wirklichkeit hat aber niemand angerufen.\nVergangen Donnerstag: Die Landesmedienanstalten beschließen, die Spielregel müssen noch einmal überarbeitet werden. Doch ausgerechnet die, die sie täglich brechen – 9Live und Co. - sollen das unter sich ausmachen.\nAutor: Peter Onneken Dieser Text gibt den Fernsehbeitrag vom 08.05.2007 wieder.

Les deux réalisateurs, surpris de l'engouement suscité par leur vidéo, ont donné des entrevues à plusieurs chaînes de télévision canadiennes (CBC, CTV, Global, TVA, etc.) et même à la chaîne américaine CNN.\nOn peut visionner leur lipdub sur YouTube en tapant les mots «lipdub UQAM». Une mise en garde toutefois : la chanson utilisée, I Gotta Feeling du groupe Black Eyed Peas, risque de vous trotter dans la tête une bonne partie de la journée...\n«Au départ, nous voulions simplement nous amuser et relever le défi d'organisation, de gestion et de réalisation que représente un projet comme celui-là», explique Luc-Olivier Cloutier, qui a également tenu la caméra et effectué le montage du clip. Le défi a été relevé avec brio et le plaisir était manifestement au rendez-vous.\nLes dessous du tournage\nL'idée, lancée dans la foulée des lipdubs réalisés à HEC Montréal l'hiver dernier, a été acceptée avec enthousiasme par le comité des initiations en communication. Première étape : le choix de la chanson. «Nous avons considéré 1990 de Jean Leloup, mais le débit était trop rapide», raconte la coréalisatrice, Marie-Ève Hébert.\nLa chanson des Black Eyed Peas, en revanche, possédait toutes les qualités requises. «Il s'agit d'une chanson festive qui a été un succès planétaire l'été dernier. Les étudiants connaissaient les paroles, c'était donc plus facile ainsi», ajoute l'étudiante. Sans compter qu'à l'heure de YouTube, une telle chanson risquait de faire boule de neige sur le Web...\nLes deux réalisateurs ont entrepris au mois d'août de chorégraphier chaque ligne de la chanson (en prévoyant aussi certains costumes) et ont choisi un parcours, débutant à l'extérieur du pavillon Judith-Jasmin et se terminant dans le studio de communication, en s'assurant que le minutage tombait pile avec la durée de la chanson, soit un peu plus de quatre minutes. Une semaine avant le tournage, ils ont tenu une répétition avec une douzaine de personnes, dont Catherine Choquette (assistante à la réalisation), Antoine Bolduc (régie de plateau), Maxime Lamontagne (assistance à la caméra), et Mathieu Potvin (infographie et accessoires).\nLa grande inconnue de l'équation : combien de personnes allaient effectivement se pointer à l'heure dite le jeudi 10 septembre? Même si les réalisateurs avaient créé un groupe Facebook (incluant un logo pour leur projet, gracieuseté de leur collègue Mathieu Potvin) et que les nouveaux étudiants en communication avaient reçu les paroles de la chanson dans leur trousse d'initiation, personne ne pouvait savoir le nombre de participants qui oseraient plonger dans l'aventure.\n«Nous avions envisagé différents scénarios selon le nombre de participants», précise Luc-Olivier Cloutier, qui n'a pas eu à se faire trop de soucis, puisque 172 personnes ont répondu à l'appel (environ 120 d'entre eux étaient de nouveaux étudiants, les autres sont en deuxième et troisième année).\nUne répétition sans caméra, une générale et deux prises plus tard, le tout était dans le sac... en deux heures et quart à peine. «Les participants étaient disciplinés et tellement patients», souligne avec reconnaissance Luc-Olivier qui, dès la fin du tournage, à 18h15, a ajouté les génériques d'ouverture et de fin en vitesse, car Musique Plus diffusait leur lipdub à 20h30 le soir même!\nL'effet UQAM\nLe lipdub a été vu plus de 1 million de fois sur YouTube et a généré des milliers de commentaires d'internautes enthousiastes, parmi lesquels plusieurs étudiants fiers d'étudier à l'UQAM. «Nous recevons des commentaires de partout à travers le monde!, s'exclame Luc-Olivier Cloutier. C'est une belle vitrine pour l'UQAM.» Les réalisateurs ont été approchés par deux entreprises québécoises afin de réaliser d'autres lipdubs et une boîte de production de vidéoclips s'est montrée intéressée. Bref, cette belle aventure leur donne, à eux aussi, une visibilité méritée!\n***\nQu'est-ce qu'un lipdub?\nPhénomène qui a pris de l'ampleur au cours des dernières années sur le Web, un lipdub est une vidéo réalisée en plan-séquence, durant laquelle les participants font du lipsynch sur une chanson populaire. Ce type de vidéo cherche à témoigner de la créativité et de la bonne humeur qui règnent au sein d'une institution ou d'une entreprise.\nSource : Journal L'UQAM, vol. XXXVI, no 3 (5 octobre 2009)\nÀ chaque visionnement de ce lipdub, je découvre une petite subtilité qui m'avait échappé la fois précédente. C'est un privilège d'évoluer aux côtés d'une jeunesse si talentueuse et créative qui arrive à me surprendre aussi agréablement. Bravo et Merci !\nTout simplement GÉNIAL!\nJ'espère au moins que cette visibilité vous apporte des contrats lucratifs avec la TV et autres et que cet argent est utilisé à bon escient tels que des dons à des organismes associatifs montréalais ou de l'université.\nSinon j'vois pas la grande utilité, à part faire tripper de grands enfants étudiants en comm.\nBravo! Une pub inimaginable pour l'UQAM (comme quoi rien ne sert de mettre des millions dans l'affichage classique).\nCes deux étudiants devraient avoir une statue !\nJe suis tellement fier de nos étudiants!\nJe vieillis mais de les voir, dans cette vidéo et dans mes cours, me fait me sentir plus jeune...\nJe vous aime !", "url": "http://www.uqam.ca/entrevues/entrevue.php?id=602", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20091008211736/http://www.uqam.ca/entrevues/entrevue.php?id=602" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Breaking News Videos from CNN.com", "text": "Thank you!\nThank you for contributing.

W ich wersji mają to być „tęczowe walentynki” obchodzone w tym roku pod hasłem „Miłość łączy serca tak jak chce”.\nAktywiści gejowscy z Kampanii przeciw Homofobii zamierzają w najbliższą niedzielę rozdać w całej Polsce 6 tysięcy kartek z tym sloganem – zapowiada Anna Urbańczyk z oddziału KPH w Trójmieście.\nPolscy geje i lesbijki po raz pierwszy obchodzili walentynki jako swoje święto już w 2004 roku pod hasłem „Miłość niejedno ma imię”. Wtedy było skromnie. W tym roku – gdy KPH ma już działaczy w każdym województwie – rozdawanie kartek odbędzie się na masową skalę.

Dla porównania ryzykowny kontakt heteroseksualny był drogą zakażenia dla ok. 29% nowo zakażonych. Mimo w miarę stabilnej sytuacji epidemiologicznej w Polsce, liczba zakażeń HIV stale wzrasta. W 2009 r. wg danych skumulowanych (od 1985r.) liczba zdiagnozowanych w Polsce zakażeń HIV przekroczyła 12,5 tysiąca.\nZe względu na niepełne dane epidemiologiczne Narodowego Instytutu Zdrowia Publicznego – Państwowego Zakładu Higieny (w przypadku ok. 80% zgłoszeń nowo wykrytych zakażeń HIV nie podano prawdopodobnej drogi zakażenia), Krajowe Centrum ds. AIDS prowadzi własne analizy danych uzyskanych z punktów konsultacyjno-diagnostycznych, w których można wykonać na terenie całego kraju bezpłatnie i anonimowo test w kierunku HIV. Klienci punktów oraz doradcy prowadzący poradnictwo przed i po teście wypełniają anonimowe ankiety, które następnie są poddawane analizie. Dane uzyskane w PKD pomagają wskazać kierunek działań w zakresie profilaktyki HIV. Ostatnia analiza ankiet z PKD (wypełnionych w 2007 roku) przeprowadzona na zlecenie Centrum przez TNS-OBOP wykazała, że większość osób zgłaszających się do PKD to ludzie młodzi, w wieku 20 - 29 lat (59%) i 30 – 39 lat (23%).\nPrawie połowa spośród wszystkich osób zgłaszających się na test do PKD przyznała, że miała kontakty z partnerem seksualnym innym niż stały (41%), a co trzecia osoba nie podała czy miała kontakty seksualne z partnerem seksualnym innym niż stały (37%), co może oznaczać, że takie kontakty miała, ale nie chce o nich mówić nawet anonimowo. Niemal co trzecia z tych osób nigdy nie stosowała prezerwatyw w kontaktach seksualnych ze stałym partnerem (31%), 38% badanych twierdzi, że czasami używa prezerwatyw podczas kontaktów ze stałymi partnerami. Odpowiedzi klientów PKD pytanych o kontakty seksualne z partnerami innymi niż stali partnerzy, są jeszcze bardziej niepokojące. Co szósta osoba nigdy nie stosowała prezerwatyw w kontaktach seksualnych z partnerami innymi niż stali (16%), a co trzecia osoba używała prezerwatyw w podejmowanych przez siebie kontaktach seksualnych jedynie czasami (32%). Jedynie 23% zawsze stosuje prezerwatywy w kontaktach z partnerami innymi niż stali.\nZastanawiający jest brak odpowiedzi na to pytanie ponad 28% badanych. Spośród osób seropozytywnych na pytanie czy używają prezerwatyw z partnerami stałymi, prawie 70% odpowiedziało, że nigdy lub czasami, a prawie 60% nigdy nie używa lub używa czasami prezerwatywy w kontaktach z partnerami innymi niż stali. Sygnały, które na bieżąco docierają do Krajowego Centrum ds. AIDS z Punktów Konsultacyjno-Diagnostycznych wskazują na utrzymywanie się ww. tendencji w 2008 i 2009 roku. Niepokojące są też informacje uzyskiwane od lekarzy, zwłaszcza lekarzy wenerologów, do których trafia coraz więcej pacjentów z kiłą lub innymi chorobami przenoszonymi drogą płciową, często w stadium bardzo zaawansowanym. Należy także zwrócić uwagę na fakt, że w populacji MSM w dalszym ciągu zbyt mało osób decyduje się na wykonanie testu w kierunku HIV.\nW roku 2009 test anonimowo i bezpłatnie wykonało w PKD ok. 26 tysięcy osób. Odnotowano wzrost zainteresowania w stosunku do lat poprzednich (2008 r.: ok. 21 tys., 2007 r.: ok. 19 tys.), lecz ciągle obserwowany jest brak świadomości, że problem HIV/AIDS może być problemem każdego. Wg szacunków Komisji Europejskiej nawet 70% osób zakażonych w Polsce nie zna swojego statusu serologicznego. Problemem jest także nietestowanie się w kierunku innych chorób przenoszonych drogą płciową. W populacji mężczyzn mających seks z mężczyznami obserwuje się także inne zjawisko: ci mężczyźni, którzy już się testują, zaczynają traktować badanie w kierunku HIV jak formę profilaktyki, nie zmieniając przy tym swoich zachowań na bardziej bezpieczne.\nŹródło informacji - Krajowe Centrum ds.

Hatte er sich doch den Zorn der CSU-Größen zugezogen, als er im Sommer 2010 die Stilllegung von Isar 1 forderte.\nDie überraschende Wendung der CSU-Spitze und wohl auch der Spitze des Betreibers Eon, die am späten Nachmittag bekannt wird, dürfte in Niederaichbach nicht mehr auf ganz großen Widerstand treffen.

Ich glaube, es sollte dann abgeschaltet bleiben“, sagte Bayerns Umweltminister Markus Söder unserer Zeitung. Parteifreunde, darunter der CSU- Vorsitzende Horst Seehofer, begrüßten seine Kehrtwende. Auch Bayerns FDP stellte sich gegen den Meiler. „Ich gehe davon aus, dass Isar 1 nicht zu halten sein wird“, sagte Fraktions- Geschäftsführer Tobias Thalhammer. Als Zeitrahmen für die Abschaltung schlug Söder das Frühjahr vor. „Im Mai liefe die reguläre Laufzeit aus.“ Die Opposition fordert seit Jahren vergeblich das Aus für Isar 1. Bayerns SPD- Chef Florian Pronold verlangt nun die sofortige Abschaltung: „Nicht an den Worten, an den Taten sollt ihr sie erkennen.“\nAuf EU- Ebene wollen die Energieminister der 27 Mitgliedstaaten auf einem Krisentreffen heute in Brüssel über die Lage beraten.

Am schlimmsten traf es den japanischen Branchenprimus Toshiba, dessen Wert um 16 Prozent einknickte. Siemens hatte dagegen Glück: Die Aktie büßte nur rund 1 Prozent ein, weil der Münchner Konzern auch stark in der konventionellen Kraftwerkstechnik sowie bei erneuerbaren Energien vertreten ist.\nUnterdessen spitzt sich die Lage in Japan dramatisch zu. In der Unglücksanlage Fukushima Eins stieg nach Angaben des Kraftwerksbetreibers die radioaktive Strahlung. Grund könnte der Beginn einer Kernschmelze sein. Die drohe dort in drei Reaktoren, erklärte die Regierung.\nIm Reaktor 2 des Kraftwerks liegen die Brennstäbe erneut komplett frei. Das teilte der Energieversorger Tokyo Electric Power am Abend mit. Dort war die Kühlung ausgefallen. In den Reaktoren 1 und 3 der Anlage war nach massiven Problemen mit der Kühlanlage bereits zuvor Meerwasser eingeleitet worden.

Dazu müssen sie allerdings abgebremst werden. Dazu ist ein sogenannter Moderator notwendig, bei dem es sich in den meisten thermischen Reaktoren um gewöhnliches Wasser handelt, manchmal auch um sogenanntes schweres Wasser oder Grafit.\nIn Brutreaktoren wird ein Gemisch von Uran- und Plutoniumoxid, der sogenannte Mox-Brennstoff, verwendet. Natürliches Uranerz besteht nur zu 0,7 Prozent aus dem spaltbaren Isotop Uran-235, den Rest macht das nicht spaltbaren Uran-238 aus. In einem Brutreaktor wird aber Uran-238 zu Plutonium-239 umgewandelt. In Wiederaufbereitungsanlagen kann das Plutonium abgetrennt und dann als Kernbrennstoff wiederverwendet werden. Auf diese Weise gewinnen Brutreaktoren aus dem vorhandenen Uran in etwa 30 Mal mehr Energie als Leichtwasserreaktoren.\nZur Kernspaltung werden nicht abgebremste, sondern schnelle Neutronen verwendet, weshalb auch vom \"schnellen Reaktor\" die Rede ist. Da sie allerdings mit geringerer Wahrscheinlichkeit neue Kernspaltungen auslösen, muss das Spaltmaterial im Vergleich zum thermischen Reaktor höher konzentriert werden - was wiederum dazu führt, dass es im Inneren von Brutreaktoren heißer wird als etwa in Leichtwasserreaktoren. Deshalb wird als Kühlmittel auch nicht Wasser, sondern in der Regel flüssiges Natrium verwendet.\nDies führt gemeinsam mit der enorm hohen Giftigkeit von Plutonium zu großen Bedenken hinsichtlich der Sicherheit von Brutreaktoren.

The right for women to join the all- male Shura Council could turn out to be even more significant as it is the most influential political body in the country.\nThe BBC's world affairs correspondent Emily Buchanan says it is an extraordinary development for women in Saudi Arabia, who are not allowed to drive, or to leave the country unaccompanied.\nShe says there has been a big debate about the role of women in the kingdom and, although not everyone will welcome the decision, such a reform will ease some of the tension that has been growing over the issue.\nSaudi writer Nimah Ismail Nawwab told the BBC: \"This is something we have long waited for and long worked towards.\"\nShe said activists had been campaigning for 20 years on driving, guardianship and voting issues.\nAnother campaigner, Wajeha al-Huwaider, said the king's announcement was \"great news\".\n\"Now it is time to remove other barriers like not allowing women to drive cars and not being able to function, to live a normal life without male guardians,\" she told Reuters news agency.\nCorrespondents say King Abdullah has been cautiously pressing for political reforms, but in a country where conservative clerics and some members of the royal family resist change, liberalisation has been very gradual.\nIn May more than 60 intellectuals called for a boycott of Thursday's ballot saying \"municipal councils lack the authority to effectively carry out their role\".\nMunicipal elections are the only public polls in Saudi Arabia.\nMore than 5,000 men will compete in municipal elections on Thursday - the second-ever in the kingdom - to fill half the seats in local councils. The other half are appointed by the government.\nThe next municipal elections are due in four years' time.", "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15052030", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20110925185115/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15052030" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Saudi king gives women right to vote", "text": "Saudi king gives women right to vote\nRIYADH — Saudi King Abdullah on Sunday granted women the right to vote and run in municipal elections, in a historic first for the ultra-conservative country where women are subjected to many restrictions.\nThe 86-year-old monarch made the unexpected announcement that he had issued a decree to enfranchise women in a speech to the Shura Council broadcast live on state television.\n\"Starting with the next term, women will have the right to run in municipal elections and to choose candidates, according to Islamic principles,\" said King Abdullah.\n\"We have decided that women will participate in the Shura Council as members starting the next term,\" he added.\nWomen's rights activists have long fought for the right to vote in the Gulf kingdom, which applies a strict version of Sunni Islam and bans women from driving or travelling without the consent of a male guardian.\nManal al-Sharif, the 32-year-old icon of a campaign in which a group of defiant Saudi women got behind the steering wheels of their cars in a protest against the driving ban, told AFP the king's decision was \"a historic and courageous one.\"\n\"The king is a reformist,\" she said of the monarch whose country was spared a wave of protests rocking the region by which autocratic regimes in Tunisia and Egypt were toppled.\nAbdullah's move was also hailed by the United States and Britain, which both called it a significant \"step forward\" for the Saudi people.\n\"The announcements made today represent an important step forward in expanding the rights of women in Saudi Arabia, and we support King Abdullah and the people of Saudi Arabia as they undertake these and other reforms,\" said Tommy Vietor, the White House National Security Council spokesman.\nBritish Foreign Secretary William Hague said he welcomed the announcement and that \"we look forward to examining the full details of the proposed changes and how they will work in practice.\"\nThe king's decision means that women will be able to take part in the elections that are to be held in four years, as the next vote is due to take place on Thursday and nominations are already closed.\nIn addition to participating in the only public polls in the country, women would have the right to join the all-appointed Shura (consultative) Council, he said in the address opening the assembly's new term.\nMore than 5,000 men will compete in Thursday's municipal elections, only the second in Saudi Arabia's history, to fill half the seats in the kingdom's 285 municipal councils. The other half are appointed by the government.\nThe first elections were held in 2005, but the government extended the existing council's term for two years.\n-- 'Day of joy' --\nKing Abdullah said his decision came because \"we refuse marginalising women's role in the Saudi society in all fields,\" and followed \"consultations with several scholars.\"\nHe did not mention anything about women's right to drive in the kingdom where they must hire male chauffeurs, or depend on the goodwill of relatives if they do not have the means.\nHowever, he said that \"balanced modernisation which agrees with our Islamic values is a necessary demand in an epoch where there is no place for those who are hesitant\" in moving forward.\nSaudi Arabia has seen many changes since Abdullah became king in 2005.\nNorah al-Fayez, who was named to the post of deputy education minister for women's education in 2009, was the first woman ever named to a ministerial post in the country.\nMore than 60 intellectuals and activists had called in May for a boycott of the September ballot because \"municipal councils lack the authority to effectively carry out their role\" and \"half of their members are appointed,\" as well as because they exclude women.\nThe Shura Council had recommended allowing women to vote in the next local polls, officials have said.\nAnd in April, Samar Badawi said she was suing the municipal affairs ministry for upholding the ban on women taking part in the local poll.\nBadawi filed a lawsuit at the administrative court in Mecca against the ministry for denying women the right to register as voters.\nIn the same month, a group of women defied the ban on women in elections by turning up at a voter registration office in the Red Sea city of Jeddah, in a rare public demonstration against the male-only electoral system.\nBut they were turned back by the head of the centre who told them women were still banned from voting.\nWhile being spared any unrest linked to the Arab Spring, the oil-rich Sunni kingdom has however seen minor sporadic demonstrations by Shiites that took place in its Eastern Province.\nUS Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has publicly thrown her support behind the driving campaign, saying that \"what these women are doing is brave, and what they are seeking is right.\"\nSuheila Zine el-Abidine, an activist from Saudi's National Human Rights Association, paid tribute to the king for allowing women to vote.\n\"We are very happy with his decision today,\" she said, adding that \"by affirming women's political rights in a royal decree, he has removed all questions raised around this matter.\"\nMadawi al-Hassun, a businesswoman, was also elated by the move.\n\"Today is a day of joy for Saudi women,\" she said.\nCopyright © 2011 AFP.

L’ancien ministre de l’économie fera une déclaration à la presse à 10 h 30 au cours d’une visite à un centre d’apprentissage de Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis).\nSelon nos informations, les principaux soutiens d’En marche !, le mouvement lancé en avril par M. Macron, ont été invités ce jour-là à déjeuner avec leur champion. Officiellement pour inaugurer leur nouveau QG de campagne, transféré de la tour Montparnasse vers des bureaux trois fois plus grand du 15e arrondissement de Paris. Officieusement pour les informer de sa décision.\nPreuve d’une accélération des horloges, le natif d’Amiens sera le lendemain et vendredi en déplacement à Marseille, ville où il se murmure qu’il pourrait briguer une circonscription lors des législatives. « Il y aura du monde », prévient son entourage. Ces derniers jours, des élus proches évoquaient pourtant un Macron encore hésitant. « La décision n’est pas totalement arrêtée », assurait son entourage ce week-end. La faute au livre entamé depuis deux ans, auquel l’ex-étudiant en philosophie a du mal à mettre un point final. La faute surtout au pas de deux entamé entre François Hollande et Manuel Valls pour savoir lequel représentera la gauche de gouvernement à la primaire.\nGriller la politesse à François Hollande\n« Ce n’est pas la même chose pour Macron d’affronter un président qu’il respecte ou un premier ministre qu’il méprise », croit savoir un parlementaire. Preuve de la confusion, certains assurent à l’Elysée que le haut fonctionnaire réfléchit encore à se présenter à la primaire, hypothèse pourtant évacuée avec constance par l’intéressé.\nSelon un sondage BVA publié mardi 15 novembre, Macron serait d’ailleurs perdant à tous les coups s’il participait au scrutin des 22 et 29 janvier : de peu face à François Hollande, avec 49,5 % des voix au second tour ; nettement plus face à Manuel Valls, qui l’emporterait avec 58 % des suffrages.\nAlors, pourquoi se lancer maintenant ? Parce que l’aspirant président a plus à y gagner. En se déclarant avant le premier tour de la primaire de la droite, dimanche 20 novembre, il peut espérer peser sur le scrutin. « Macron candidat, certains électeurs pro-Juppé pourraient rester chez eux et favoriser une victoire de Sarkozy, ce qui lui ouvrirait un boulevard au centre », décrypte un élu, même si François Bayrou se lancerait sans doute aussi.\nDe même, griller la politesse à François Hollande, qui refuse d’avancer la date de sa candidature, fixée à début décembre, accentue la pression sur le chef de l’Etat, qui a déjà du mal à repousser Manuel Valls. « Imaginez que les premiers sondages donnent Hollande battu par Macron au premier tour, cela risque de tanguer même chez les hollandais », anticipe un connaisseur du Parti socialiste. Or, Macron veut à tout prix éviter un face-à-face avec son ancien mentor et l’étiquette de Brutus qui va avec.\nLire aussi : Comment Valls veut sortir Hollande du jeu\nMais, malgré son enthousiasme et les presque 96 000 sympathisants d’En marche !, le champion des autocars est loin d’avoir partie gagnée. Dans les sondages, il plafonne pour le moment autour de 15 % à 18 % des intentions de vote au premier tour. Trop peu pour espérer peser : en 2007, François Bayrou avait rallié 18,6 % des suffrages mais le MoDem n’avait finalement obtenu que trois sièges à l’Assemblée – dont le sien – lors des législatives.\nSurtout, l’électorat macroniste est marqué à droite, en tout cas pour le moment. Selon une étude du Cevipof publiée en avril, les soutiens de l’ex-banquier se recrutent « chez les personnes âgées, les retraités, les professions indépendantes, les ménages aux revenus élevés », autant d’électeurs qui risquent de ne pas le suivre une fois le candidat de droite identifié. Même si un tiers des Français disent ne plus avoir d’appartenance partisane. « Macron est le candidat de gauche dont la droite rêve », note le politologue Pascal Perrineau.\nLire aussi : Les propositions d’Emmanuel Macron mélangent gauche, droite, neuf et vieux\n« On ne rallie pas 50 % des Français avec des start-uppeurs et des avocats d’affaires, estime un membre du gouvernement. En politique, c’est la demande qui fait l’offre et non l’inverse. Or, Macron ne rencontre pas d’écho dans la société, on parle de lui dans les dîners à Paris, pas sur les marchés. »\nLa victoire de Donald Trump jette aussi une ombre sur sa candidature. Macron a beau dire que c’est la preuve que « rien n’est jamais écrit à l’avance », son profil ne correspond pas à l’aspiration à plus d’autorité qui s’en dégage. « Ce qui s’est passé aux Etats-Unis ne sera pas neutre sur les choix des Français, estime Jérôme Fourquet, directeur du département opinion à l’IFOP. Désormais, on va comparer les candidats à Merkel mais aussi à Trump et à Poutine. Cela peut donner une prime à un certain profil psychologique. » Comprendre : à 38 ans, le novice de la politique pourrait en pâtir.\n« Macron est à rebours de l’histoire, assure Marie-Noëlle Lienemann, sénatrice (PS) de Paris et candidate à la primaire. Aujourd’hui, le vote est antimondialisation, antilibéralisation, antiestablishment. Et le centrisme a toujours été faible en période de tension. »\nCohn-Bendit pourrait le soutenir\nCalcul ou fébrilité, Macron rééquilibe en tout cas son discours depuis quelques semaines. Après la victoire de Trump, il a assuré entendre la « demande de protection et de respect du sentiment populaire ». Accusé d’être « antisocial », il martèle ne pas vouloir « la loi de la jungle ». Certes, il veut assouplir les 35 heures, mais il promet aussi de faire bénéficier de l’assurance chômage les salariés qui démissionnent ou de moduler à la carte l’âge de départ à la retraite.\nCela suffira-t-il à convaincre davantage d’élus de le suivre, élément essentiel pour faire campagne ? « Pour l’instant, j’ai du mal à voir ce qui est de gauche chez lui », a répondu Emmanuelle Cosse, lundi sur France Info, repoussant les avances de M. Macron aux écologistes. Seul Daniel Cohn-Bendit se dit prêt à le soutenir en cas de victoire de Sarkozy à la primaire.\nDe même, le centre le dédaigne. Macron a tenté de séduire François Bayrou lors d’une étape du Tour de France, à Pau, le 9 juillet, mais le vieux lion du centre n’entend pas partager son point d’eau avec un « hologramme » aux mains des « puissances de l’argent ». Quant aux socialistes, la plupart sont pour l’instant tétanisés à l’idée de perdre l’investiture du PS en cas de ralliement à En marche !.

He told TVNZ's Close Up programme the climber did not have oxygen or proper gloves.\n\"I was like what do we do...we couldn't do anything.\"\nInglis said it is a \"fair point\" that he should have helped the man but that at 8,500 metres it is extremely difficult to keep yourself alive, let alone anyone else.\n\"On that morning over 40 people went past this young Briton, I was the first... radioed and Russ said 'look mate you can't do anything... he's been there x number of hours, been there without oxygen, he's effectively dead,' so we carried on,\" he said.\nInglis said people from his expedition were the only ones that tried to help Sharp.\nHillary says that in his day there was a sense of responsibility towards other climbers and this would never had happened. He says on his 1953 expedition they would have cancelled the climb if two ailing members of the party hadn't made it back to base camp.\n\"They decided in the end if they went on they'd never return and so they struggled back down the mountain... I went up to join them on the south east ridge and they were very exhausted...But if they hadn't returned I haven't the slightest doubt that George Lowe and I and a couple of the sherpas would've headed off up the ridge and would have searched them out,\" says Hillary.\nHe says people now pay a lot of money to get to the summit and the commercial imperative has seen the welfare of those in distress become secondary.\nMountaineers with different levels of ability now pay more than $100,000 for guides to take them up, and even a 70-year-old has made the climb.\nHillary says the philosophy of heading for the summit and letting people lie dying is not pleasant and he hopes it is not repeated.\n\"I don't think it matters a damn if he was from another party, if he was Swiss or from Timbuktu or whatever, he was a human being and we would regard it as our duty to get him back to safety,\" he says.\nTwenty four years ago searchers fought blizzard conditions for two weeks to rescue Inglis from Mount Cook. A helicopter crashed on the way and the crew narrowly escaping with their lives.\nBut one of the men who saved Inglis on Mount Cook and who has also scaled Mount Everest believes a rescue attempt by the double amputee's party would have amounted to mission impossible.\n\"The only rescue that I can think of on the north side from anywhere near that altitude was from 8400 metres, and that climber was able to walk down himself with supplemental oxygen, but he had to be lowered off north cole in a stretcher. It took a huge amount of man power,\" Dr Dick Price says.\nSharp's parents have reportedly said they do not blame other climbers for their son's death because their only responsibility was to save themselves.\nSharp had climbed alone. His body was found in a cave last week 305m below the summit.\n\"I note the family of the climber says people should not have stopped for him. From a personal point of view, I have considerable sympathy for what Sir Edmund Hillary has said,\" Prime Minister Helen Clark says.\nHis comments are also supported by the widow of climber Rob Hall who died on Mount Everest supporting a client who was in trouble.\n\"It's the equivalent of trying to bring someone back from the moon. It's virtually impossible, but my heart is with the man in the snow, I had a man in the snow,\" Jan Arnold says.\nInglis is likely to face further scrutiny for his decision when he arrives in New Zealand on Thursday.", "url": "http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/488120/722071", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20080116005015/http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/488120/722071" } ]

It happened just north of Exit 98 on East Holly Road in Oakland County.\nThe pilot of the single-engine Piper Warrior landed on the median near Exit 98. That's just south of the Genesee County line in Oakland County.\nThe pilot and his passenger were flying to Mid Michigan from Ohio. The two got lost trying to find Oakland Airport. Once the pilot got his bearings, they faced yet another hurdle.\nA median on I-75 turned into a point of landing for an Ohio man and his passenger. The pilot of the Warrior was bound for Oakland Airport. Then came a problem.\n\"The engine stalled and they tried to start it back a couple times by switching fuel tanks, but there was no luck so they had to make an emergency landing,\" said Charles Oaks with the Springfield Township Fire Department.\nThey crash landed on the interstate during the peak of rush hour. Traffic was backed up for miles in the northbound lanes.\n\"It kind of reminded me of a blimp,\" said witness Maureen Ghenon.\n\"It was really big. I was surprised to look down and see that it was so small because it was right there. You immediately knew that it wasn't going to recover. It was going to land.\"\nBoth men, who are EMS workers, managed to walk away unharmed. Authorities say the pilot was flying his friend here to drive back a vehicle purchased in Brighton.\nNow both will be driving home.\n\"The guy said he just lost a $70,000 plane and he wasn't in the mood to talk right now, and I asked the passenger and he said, no, he wasn't, either,\"Oaks said.\n\"He said it was the first time he had ever flown an airplane in his life, and it will probably be his last.\"\nThe pilot had some experience flying.

Según el meteorólogo Daniel Torres, el alza en los termómetros, en una zona que bordea entre los 18 y 25 grados, se debe a un evento de calentamiento provocado por un cambio de dirección en el viento, que ahora está circulado de oeste a este, impidiendo el enfriamiento del aire de esas zonas gracias a la brisa costera. En este sentido, Torres aclaró que pese a que los balnearios y principales ciudades de las regiones australes registrarán temperaturas superiores a los 30 grados, a partir del viernes las condiciones volverán a la normalidad, descartando la posibilidad de una ola de calor. \"En nuestro continente no se puede hablar de 'olas de calor o de frío', las que tienen una duración aproximada de 7 a 10 días. En Chile y en el hemisferio sur en general, ocurren 'eventos de calentamiento o de enfriamiento', debido a que la mayor proporción entre océano y continente, a diferencia del hemisferio norte, impide que las altas temperaturas se prolonguen por mucho tiempo\", explicó el meteorólogo.

Ayer en Temuco se registraron 34,7 grados, en Valdivia 33°, en Coyhaique 32,5°, en Pucón 33°, mientras que en Balmaceda la temperatura llegó a los 31.7 grados. El caso más particular se dio en la Región de Aisén, en la localidad de Alto Palena, donde la temperatura bordeó los 34 grados.

Salim Hamdan was convicted on Wednesday of supporting terrorism, but acquitted of conspiracy to murder. Prosecutors had demanded a sentence of not less than 30 years. On time served Hamdan could be released in five months but the Pentagon has said he will still be retained as an \"enemy combatant\". The US has always argued it can detain such people indefinitely, as long as its so-called war on terror continues. The Pentagon said Hamdan would serve his sentence and then be eligible for review. Regret The BBC's Kim Ghattas at the trial says the sentence is a dramatic snub to the Bush administration and came after just one-and-a-half hours of deliberation. The jury of six US military officers, not the judge, imposed the sentence under the tribunal rules. \"It is my duty as president [of the jury] to inform you that this military commission sentences you to be confined for 66 months,\" a juror told Hamdan. HAMDAN CHARGES Conspiracy: Not guilty of two counts of conspiring with al-Qaeda to attack civilians, destroy property and commit murder Providing support for terrorism: Guilty on five counts, including being the driver and bodyguard for Osama Bin Laden, a man he knew to be the leader of a terrorist group. Not guilty on three other counts\nProfile: Salim Hamdan Timeline: Al-Qaeda Our correspondent says Hamdan looked nervous as he walked in for sentencing but after hearing it, he told jurors: \"I would like to apologise one more time to all the members and I would like to thank you for what you have done for me.\" The judge, Navy Capt Keith Allred, told Hamdan: \"I hope the day comes when you return to your wife and your daughters and your country.\" Hamdan, who is aged about 40, smiled as he left court and said thank you to those in the room. After the sentencing, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said: \"He will serve out the rest of his sentence. At that time he will still be considered an enemy combatant. \"But he will be eligible for review by an Administrative Review Board.\" The boards decide annually on the threat posed by detainees and the possibility of their transfer or release. The White House had earlier said the trial was \"fair\". The defence is still likely to go ahead with the appeal it announced on Wednesday. Rights groups have condemned the tribunal system. Amnesty International said it was \"fundamentally flawed\" and should be abandoned. 'Worked for wages' In his earlier plea for leniency to the jury, Hamdan said in a prepared statement: \"It's true there are work opportunities in Yemen, but not at the level I needed after I got married and not to the level of ambitions that I had in my future.\" He said he regretted the loss of \"innocent lives\". Hamdan had admitted working for Bin Laden in Afghanistan from 1997 to 2001 for $200 (£99) a month, but said he worked for wages, not to wage war on the US.

He raised his hands and wept quietly into them when he heard “guilty.”\nHis case will be reviewed by the Pentagon appointee overseeing the tribunals and then by a special military appeals court.

Democratic candidate Barack Obama said the long delay showed how flawed the U.S. government’s legal approach was.\nThe American Civil Liberties Union called the tribunal a betrayal of American values from start to finish and “a monumental debacle of American justice.”\nThe jury heard two weeks of testimony, including that of 10 federal agents who interrogated Hamdan without warning him that his confessions would be used against him in a criminal trial.\nSlideshow ( 8 images )\nIt was the Bush administration’s third attempt to try Hamdan, who won a Supreme Court victory that scrapped the first version of the Guantanamo court system in 2006.

It didn't get one. By convicting Osama bin Laden's former driver—the first \"terrorist\" to be tried under the first U.S. war-crimes tribunal since World War II—only of \"material\" support for terrorism, and absolving him of conspiracy to commit terrorism, the military judges provoked questions about what Hamdan was doing there in the first place. Is driving a car a war crime? The appeals court may decide not—in which case even this meager verdict could be thrown out.\n\"I would be very surprised if any of this conviction stands at the end of the day,\" says Scott Horton, a law professor specializing in human rights at Columbia University. \"He was convicted of things that are not war crimes by a tribunal that has the power only to prosecute war crimes.\"\nObviously this was no show trial. This six-member jury did not buy the prosecution's case that Hamdan knew about and was involved in terror plots, only that he assisted Al Qaeda by driving and guarding bin Laden. \"This is not a jury that did the government's bidding,\" says Scott Silliman of Duke Law School, a former JAG officer. \"The fact that you couldn't get two thirds on conspiracy is significant … I think it could go all the way back to the Supreme Court.\" As Matt Waxman, the former Defense Department assistant secretary of detainee affairs, put it to me: \"In terms of global perceptions, it's really been the U.S. system that's on trial more than individual terrorism suspects … The government has certainly lost the perceptions battle on this case so far.\"\nIndeed, the Hamdan verdict points up, more than anything else, one of the central mistakes of the Bush administration after 9/11: sheer overreaching. Was this really the best the administration could do—a driver—in the first test run of its much-batted-about tribunal system, nearly seven years after the terror attacks themselves? By arrogantly deciding that the president had the right to define and pursue the \"war on terror\" any way he liked, and that he could define anyone he liked as an \"unlawful combatant\"—then expanding its prisoner population way beyond the true Al Qaeda culprits to include everyone rounded up in Afghanistan and then Iraq—the administration ensured itself a legal and moral quagmire. It ensured that, ironically, the champions of a strong executive branch in the Bush White House would end with even less executive power to wage this \"war\" than they inherited from Bill Clinton. And it ensured that hundreds of detainees of dubious criminality and nonexistent intelligence value will continue to molder in prison with no disposition of their cases. The government plans to use the tribunals for no more than one third of Gitmo's detainee population, further draining America of the moral authority that was once so much a part of our self-identity.\nYes, the war against Al Qaeda called for a stretching and changing of the rules of war. There was a need for some ruthlessness. There was a need to \"work the dark side\" somewhat, as Dick Cheney memorably put it, when you were dealing with the Khalid Sheikh Mohammeds and Muhammad Attas of the world. But for that very reason it was necessary to define the enemy precisely, to severely limit the number of these occasionally necessary breaches of the traditional rules of war that gave us our moral stature and helped to keep our men and women in arms safer in the hands of enemies. The administration did the opposite. What began as a hunt for a relatively contained group of self-declared murderers like bin Laden became a feckless dragnet for tens of thousands (if one includes Iraq) that no other country could openly support. And now we are paying for it.

(Watch what happened in schoolhouse, community's reaction -- 2:21 )\nThe gunman, 32-year-old Charles Carl Roberts IV, carried three firearms -- a shotgun, a semiautomatic pistol and a rifle. State Police Commissioner Jeffrey Miller said Roberts also had a stun gun, two knives and a bag holding 600 rounds of ammunition.\nHe was also carrying an assortment of tools and other items, including toilet paper, that led police to believe he was prepared for an extended siege.\n\"It seems as though he wanted to attack young female victims, and this is close to his residence. That's the only reason we can figure that he went to the school,\" said Miller. (Watch commissioner's dramatic account of shootings -- 7:44 )\n\"It's a horrendous crime scene,\" he said.\nThe shooting took place in Lancaster County, about 60 miles west of Philadelphia, at a school run by the Amish community. There were 26 students in the school Monday, 11 of them girls.\nThe school teaches students ranging from 6 to 13, with some older students working as teachers' aides. Two students and an aide were killed, one of them dying in a trooper's arms, Miller said. Two other girls died while hospitalized hours after the shooting.\nThe wounded girls were taken to several hospitals in the region, some of them with gunshot wounds to the head.\nRoberts drove a commercial milk truck, said Miller. He was not Amish, was not previously wanted by authorities and had no known criminal history.\nThe Bart, Pennsylvania, resident had three children, and left several notes for his family \"along the lines of suicide notes,\" Miller said.\nThe notes were \"rambling\" and \"didn't make much sense,\" Miller said. (Read Miller's remarks)\nRoberts did not respond when police at the scene attempted to communicate with him, and troopers were preparing to storm the schoolhouse before the shooting began, Miller said.\nRoberts' wife tried to call him when she found the notes, Miller said. He returned the call on his cell phone, told her he wouldn't be coming home and \"that he was acting out to achieve revenge for something that happened 20 years ago.\"\nThe suspect called 911 and \"made a declaration that if the state police didn't leave the property he would start shooting people within 10 seconds.\"\n\"Within seconds, he just started firing in rapid succession.\"\nPolice then stormed the schoolhouse through the windows and found Roberts dead, Miller said. He had fired at least one shotgun blast at police.\nGunman let boys go\nThe commissioner said Roberts had worked a shift that ended about 3 a.m. Monday and taken his children to their bus stop before beginning his rampage.\nPolice said he had barricaded himself in the schoolhouse with two-by-four and two-by-six pieces of lumber, which he brought to the scene in a borrowed pickup truck.\n\"He planned this out meticulously,\" the commissioner said.\nMiller said that during the attack, Roberts apparently told students to line up in front of the blackboard. He began to tie his female captives' feet together. He let the 15 boys in the classroom leave.\nMiller said Roberts also allowed an adult female who was pregnant to leave with three other adult females who had infant children with them.\nThe teacher who was released was able to alert authorities, Miller said.\n\"Apparently, there was some sort of an issue in his past that for some reason, he wanted to exact revenge against female victims. That's all I can tell you right now,\" Miller said.\nMiller said Roberts' grudge did not appear to involve the Amish community and that he may have chosen his target out of convenience, perhaps thinking \"getting into a school like this was maybe just a little bit easier.\"\nA man who said he was a friend of the Roberts family, Dwight Lefever, read a statement attributed to the gunman's wife, Marie Roberts, according to CNN affiliate WGAL.\n\"The man that did this today was not the Charlie I've been married to for almost 10 years. My husband was loving, supportive, thoughtful. All the things you'd always want and more. He was an exceptional father,\" the statement said.\n\"Our hearts are broken, our lives are shattered, and we grieve for the innocents and lives that were lost today. Above all, please pray. Pray for the families who lost children today, and please pray, too, for our family and children.\"\nLancaster County's 911 Web site reported dozens of emergency vehicles -- including at least nine ambulances -- were dispatched to Bart Township shortly before 11 a.m. for a \"medical emergency.\" The Lancaster County emergency communications Web site showed 20 incident calls listed to the normally quiet Bart Township at 10:48 a.m.\nShortly after the attack, men, women and girls in traditional Amish clothing gathered in small groups outside the country schoolhouse along a dirt road. Horse-drawn carriages could be seen in a nearby parking lot.\nThe school is one of about 150 that serve the Amish population of about 200,000, said Donald Kraybill, a sociology professor at nearby Elizabethtown College.\n\"They typically are one-room facilities operated by Amish parents,\" Kraybill said. \"There usually are not any security concerns or security risks in the schools, so this is quite a shock.\"\nAaron Meyer, who owns a buggy company in the nearby village of Bird in Hand, said the largely rural Amish country had experienced nothing like the crime in the 25 years he has lived in the area.\n\"Many of these townships there have no police at all, because there's no crime,\" Meyer told CNN.\nA White House spokesperson said the president was \"deeply saddened and troubled by the recent school violence\" and that the administration would convene a conference on the subject next week.

Jedenfalls für Menschen, die nur tropische Temperaturen gewohnt sind, dazu oft nur Lumpen am Leib tragen und keine Schuhe besitzen. Aber das kümmert die Polizei in Mae Sot, dem kleinen Grenzort an der Grenze zu Burma, nicht.\nIn der letzten Januarwoche tauchten mehrere Dutzend Uniformierte bei der Müllkippe der Kleinstadt auf und machten Jagd auf die etwa 300 burmesischen Flüchtlinge, die dort ein kärgliches Leben führen. Etwa 50 Menschen wurden verhaftet, darunter auch gut zwei Dutzend Kinder, die hier die \"Sky Blue\"-Schule einer ausländischen Hilfsorganisation besuchen. Anschließend zerstörte die Polizei die Hütten, in denen die Burmesen gehaust hatten. Ohne Hab und Gut müssen die Zurückgebliebenen jetzt jede Nacht im Freien verbringen.

Februar rettete die indonesische Marine 198 Bootsflüchtlinge aus Burma vor der Insel Sumatra aus dem offenen Meer. Während ihrer 21-tägigen Odyssee seien mindestens 22 ihrer Leidesgenossen gestorben, berichteten die Überlebenden. Das Schiff hatte keinen Motor, und seit sieben Tagen waren ihnen Wasser und Lebensmittel ausgegangen.\nDie Flüchtlinge gehören der muslimischen Minderheit der Rohingyas an, die zwar schon seit gut zwei Jahrhunderten im Westen Burmas an der Grenze zu Bangladesch wohnen, aber von der buddhistischen Militärjunta in Rangun nicht als Bürger des Landes anerkannt werden. Die Gestrandeten berichteten, dass sie ursprünglich nach Thailand geflüchtet waren. Dort seien sie aber von thailändischen Beamten schwer misshandelt und anschließend mit ihren Booten erneut aufs offene Meer geschleppt worden.\nSchon Mitte Dezember war es zu einem ähnlichen Zwischenfall gekommen. Nachdem damals über tausend Rohingyas im Westen Thailands gestrandet waren, verfrachtete eine Spezialeinheit der Marine 400 von ihnen Tage später auf ein Militärboot, das eine klapprige Flüchtlingsbarkasse im Schlepptau hatte. Auf hoher See zwangen die Matrosen die Flüchtlingen, die an Händen gefesselt waren, wieder in ihr Boot zu steigen. Als einige von ihnen sich weigerten, wurden diese nach Berichten von Augenzeugen kurzerhand im Meer versenkt.\nGrenzregion um Mae Sot: Verfolgung von Minderheiten\nGrößere Kartenansicht\nZwölf Tage später fand die indische Marine einige der Flüchtlinge wieder. Ausgemergelt und dem Verdursten nahe, trieben nur noch hundert von ihnen vor einer kleinen Insel in der Andamanen-See. Wenige andere hatte sich an die Strände des Archipels retten können.\nThailands erst Mitte Dezember neugewählter Premier Abhisit Vejjajiva kündigte zwar an, die Vorfälle untersuchen zu lassen: \"Wir werden die Burmesen als illegale Immigranten behandeln, aber ihre Menschenrechte dabei respektieren\", sagte er. Doch das sind wohl nur Lippenbekenntnisse, denn mit der Aufklärung der Verstöße wurde ausgerechnet jene Sondereinheit beauftragt, die auch für die Vorfälle verantwortlich ist. Zudem hatte Abhisit die Angst in Thailand vor den \"Illegalen\" aus dem verarmten Nachbarland noch verstärkt, indem er behauptete, von drei Millionen Burmesen in Thailand seien nur 500.000 legal im Land.

El derrumbe de una escuela, donde los dueños habían construido una vivienda en la planta superior, provocó la muerte de 19 niños y siete adultos.\nLlamado de la ONU\nLa Oficina en México del Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Derechos Humanos ha pedido precisamente este miércoles proteger los derechos humanos durante emergencias humanitarias y en el proceso de reconstrucción.

Se cumplía un año del devastador movimiento de tierra que dejó 230 muertos solo en la capital. Se cumplían, también, 33 años de otro seísmo devastador, el de 1985, que acabó con miles de vidas en la ciudad. La bandera nacional ondeó a media asta en el Zócalo, en recuerdo de los que se fueron. El presidente, Enrique Peña Nieto, encabezó el izado de bandera, justo a las 7.19, hora del terremoto del 85.\nDesde la mañana, damnificados del sismo pararon, marcharon, se manifestaron en diferentes puntos de la urbe. A las 10.00, inquilinos de las torres Pestalozzi, golpeadas por el temblor, cortaron el Viaducto, una importante avenida que cruza de este a oeste la capital. Querían llamar la atención sobre “la falta de transparencia” del destino de los donativos recibidos por el Gobierno en los últimos meses. También pidieron “agilidad” en la reconstrucción.\nEs uno de los temas de estas semanas, el horror burocrático que sufren las familias que perdieron sus casas para acceder a los fondos de reforma y reconstrucción. La ambigüedad del Gobierno local frente a las peticiones de apoyo. La poca claridad acerca de quién es susceptible de recibir ayuda y quién no.\nA las 12.00, otro contingente de damnificados se juntó en el sur de la ciudad, en el complejo de edificios Tlalpan, núcleo de la organización vecinal que negocia el reparto de fondos con el Ejecutivo local. Primero acudieron a misa, luego armaron una cadena humana alrededor del complejo, y ya por la tarde marcharon al centro de la ciudad con damnificados de otros barrios.\nJusto un año después del temblor, a las 13.14.40, media ciudad paró. Vecinos de muchos barrios guardaron un minuto de silencio. A las 13.16, los altavoces de la alerta antisísmica, repartidos por miles de esquinas, reprodujeron el sonido que ha intranquilizado a sus habitantes. Un enorme simulacro que no ha acabado de gustar: ¿Por qué justo este día? ¿Por qué a esta hora?\nLas autoridades de Ciudad de México simularon 16 distintos accidentes ocasionados por un supuesto sismo de magnitud 7,2. En un hospital pediátrico, en el nororiente de la capital, ensayaron una evacuación total por un supuesto colapso de una antena de radio. En la torre del banco BBVA-Bancomer se pusieron a prueba durante un corto circuito en el piso 42 de los 50.\n“México es un país de temblores, entonces revivir el desastre es doble daño. ¿Qué se prevé? Mejor que prevengan construir edificios altos”, comenta Luz García, quien está sentada en la explanada del Palacio de Bellas Artes, la máxima sede cultural de la capital. Allí los responsables de Protección Civil, cuerpos de brigadistas y grupos de jóvenes, marcados con una equis en las manos, escenificaron la atención de víctimas. Tras el zumbido de la alerta, algunos de los jóvenes voluntarios se dejaban caer en el suelo. \"¡Herido, necesitamos ayuda!\", gritaba un hombre. Poco a poco, los trabajadores de oficinas y negocios salieron a la calle. Las sirenas de las ambulancias y patrullas rompían el silencio con el que se quería homenajear a las víctimas.\n“Se crea mucha ansiedad. Los niños crecen espantados”, opina Angélica Flores. \"Es útil este simulacro, pero la gente no le da la importancia. Claro que se espantan cuando suena la alerta, así sea un sismo leve. Necesitamos este tipo de ejercicios\", dice Gloria Estefanía, una de las voluntarias.\nEn el resto del país, el primer aniversario de los sismos -antes del 19 de septiembre de 2017, hubo otro el 7, que afectó a Oaxaca y Chiapas-, ha llegado a los medios en forma de reclamo. Con pocas excepciones, la reconstrucción avanza lentamente, caso, por ejemplo, del municipio de Jojutla, en el Estado de Morelos, parcialmente destruido. Reclamo por las sospechas de corrupción que envuelven la repartición de los fondos estatales para la reconstrucción. Reclamo, también, porque los fondos repartidos apenas sirven para armar viviendas menores, de peor calidad, que las que se cayeron.

Ya no sentíamos dolor, ni tampoco esperanza”, relató Fernando López Padilla, sobreviviente de 67 años y sin hogar propio desde entonces.\nCon la tragedia de 1985, multitudes de mexicanos se convirtieron en improvisados rescatistas ante un gobierno superado por la catástrofe. De esa epopeya cívica surgió el grupo de voluntarios conocido como Los Topos.\n“Ninguno de los compañeros nos conocíamos, todos veníamos de distintos puntos de la ciudad. Aquí fue donde empezamos a trabajar”, dijo a la AFP Luis Arturo Vázquez, de 58 años e integrante del célebre grupo.\nLEE TAMBIÉN: ¿Quién ayuda a los Topos?\nAquella tragedia llevó a desarrollar mecanismos de protección civil, como megasimulacros y una alerta sísmica que da al centro del país hasta un minuto de tiempo para ponerse a salvo de terremotos con epicentro en el Pacífico.\nDesde 2015, cuando el atronador sonido de la alerta es replicado por más de 8,000 altavoces en la capital, se inicia el vasto simulacro en el que se desalojan edificios públicos y privados.\n“Estamos invitando a toda la ciudadanía a levantar nuestro puño en signo de unidad”, dijo días atrás el director de Protección Civil nacional, Luis Felipe Puente, al convocar a participar en la maniobra que empezará a las 13:16 tras guardar un minuto de silencio por las víctimas de 2017.\nEl puño en alto se convirtió en símbolo de la tragedia. Era la señal con la que los rescatistas pedían silencio para poder escuchar señales de vida entre los escombros.\nTerremoto real\nEn 2017 el simulacro empezó a las 11:00. Dos horas y 14 minutos después, el centro del país fue sacudido por un terremoto real, de magnitud 7.1 y cuyo epicentro fue en una zona poco habitual, a sólo 120 km de la capital.\nEsa vez el sistema de alerta, cuya señal debe adelantarse en una auténtica carrera contra las ondas telúricas y que funciona idealmente con terremotos del Pacífico, no pudo ganarle. Tras la primera sacudida, retronó “alerta sísmica”.\nSin tiempo para desalojarlos, decenas de edificios colapsaron por completo y centenares más quedaron dañados.\n“Alerta sísmica”: él es el mexicano que grabó la advertencia por los sismos que golpean a México\nLa sacudida no fue la única causa de la tragedia, contribuyó también la voracidad de las constructoras y la corrupción de autoridades, que no vigilaron el estricto reglamento de construcción adoptado después de 1985.\nAl menos dos edificios de apartamentos estrenados en 2017 se vinieron abajo, lo mismo que construcciones ya viejas con pisos añadidos ilegalmente.\n“No hay manera de entender qué pasó en Ciudad de México si no es la corrupción”, denuncia Daniel Lizárraga, de la organización Mexicanos Contra la Corrupción.\nMisas y protestas\nEl colegio privado Enrique Rébsamen se convirtió en epicentro de la tragedia y la corrupción.

Nueve murieron en el terremoto. De los sobrevivientes, un centenar vive en campamentos improvisados a un lado de las hileras de edificios.\nEn el último año, la comunidad suma el fallecimiento de otros vecinos, en su mayoría personas mayores cuyas enfermedades se agudizaron por las precarias condiciones de vida.\n\"Llevamos 17 vecinos más que han fallecido, (antes) teníamos uno o dos al año. Algunos pidieron incluso venir a morir a su departamento\", dice Héctor Toledo, un ingeniero civil de 40 años cuyo departamento resultó dañado y ahora es uno de los representantes del conjunto habitacional.\nEn la misma zona, permanecen los restos del colegio privado Rébsamen, donde 19 niños y siete adultos murieron. Las autoridades apenas han empezado a remover algunos escombros, pero se mantendrá la zona donde se produjeron las muertes como parte de una investigación pues la propietaria del colegio, prófuga de la justicia, es acusada de haber realizado una construcción irregular.\nEn el bohemio sector Roma-Condesa hay un terreno baldío donde se erigía un edificio de oficinas, que había resistido ya los sismos de 1957 y 1985. Registró el mayor número de víctimas: 49.\nLa reconstrucción ha sido mucho más lenta en los estados centrales, también duramente afectados por el sismo, como en el estado de Morelos, a 120km de la capital. Y todavía más en Oaxaca y Chiapas, en el sur, golpeados por un sismo de 8,5 el 7 de septiembre de 2017 y que dejó 99 muertos.\nLos terremotos de septiembre le recuerdan a los mexicanos que su país es altamente sísmico.\nCorrupción, más letal que los terremotos\nLa cuestión es si las autoridades han aprendido las lecciones de estos sismos. De acuerdo con muchos ingenieros, investigadores y activistas, no.\nSe suponía que el sismo de 1985 marcaría \"un antes y un después\" en la historia de México, dice el escritor y periodista Héctor de Mauleon.\nTras la tragedia, Ciudad de México adoptó una estricta normativa de construcción. Analistas políticos señalan incluso que ese terremoto, que superó a las autoridades, contribuyó a la transición de régimen de partido único a una transformación democrática en los siguientes 15 años.\nEn 2017 se derrumbaron 38 edificios, la mayoría de ellos construidos antes de 1985, pero hubo casos en los que fueron modificados fuera de la ley.\n\"Es indignante que cada vez que tiembla en Ciudad de México, parece que tiembla por primera vez\", añade De Mauleon.\nLa Organización Mexicanos contra la Corrupción analizaron 28 edificios y encontraron abrumadoras evidencias de que, como en 1985, la corrupción de las constructoras y las autoridades que deben regularlas fueron responsables de los derrumbes.\n\"Los sismos no matan. La corrupción sí\", dice Salvador Camarena, director de investigación de la organización.\nSin castigo\nAdemás, nadie ha ido a la cárcel por las muertes causadas: empresas que violaron los códigos de construcción, propietarios que hicieron modificaciones irregulares que afectaron la estructura, autoridades que hicieron caso omiso.\nEl único ingeniero que fue objeto de una orden de captura por un derrumbe en 1985, Max Tenenbaum, no sólo evitó la cárcel sino que continuó su negocio.\nDos de sus edificios se colapsaron en 2017 matando a 23 personas, según Mexicanos contra la Corrupción.\nPero Tenenbaum sigue con su pujante negocio reparando edificios dañados, algunas veces incluso es contratado para arreglar construcciones que realizó, según la organización.\nClaudia Sheinbaum, alcaldesa electa de la ciudad, es señalada de haber permitido, cuando era jefa de un sector sur, construcciones irregulares sobre el colegio Rébsamen, incluido un lujoso departamento de la propietaria.\nSheinbaum es aliada del presidente electo, el izquierdista Andrés Manuel López Obrador, quien promete eliminar la corrupción. \"Debería empezar entonces con combatir la impunidad\", dicen los activistas.\nMéxico recuerda este miércoles la doble tragedia de los terremotos del 19 de septiembre: el de 2017 que dejó 369 muertos y el de 1985, en el que murieron más de 10.000 personas.", "url": "http://www.eluniversal.com/internacional/21040/mexico-recuerda-con-recelo-los-dos-devastadores-terremotos-del-19s-de-1985-y-2017", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20180919112709/http://www.eluniversal.com/internacional/21040/mexico-recuerda-con-recelo-los-dos-devastadores-terremotos-del-19s-de-1985-y-2017" } ]

(dpa)\nSie haben viel zu tun im Jobcenter Bremerhaven. Ohnehin, weil die Arbeitslosenquote bei 16 Prozent liegt. Und nun noch mehr, weil ein Team von Mitarbeitern derzeit mehr als 1000 Fälle darauf prüfen muss, ob die Leistungsempfänger ihr Geld zurecht bekommen haben, oder ob ihnen das Geld nie zustand. Betrug in einem solchen Ausmaß – das gab es bei den Jobcentern im Land Bremen noch nie. Das Jobcenter Bremen hat daraus bislang keine Konsequenzen gezogen. Nach wie vor werde jeder Antrag sorgfältig geprüft, sagt ein Sprecher des Jobcenters der Stadt Bremen. So ein Betrug wie in Bremerhaven, glaubt er, wäre hier nicht möglich.\nDie Staatsanwaltschaft Bremen hat in den vergangenen Wochen rund 1000 Akten beschlagnahmt, es geht um 1250 Leistungsempfänger, die meisten von ihnen kommen aus Bulgarien. Gegen 180 wurde bereits ein Verfahren eingeleitet, weil ein Anfangsverdacht wegen Betrug besteht, und da könnten noch viele dazu kommen. Die EU-Bürger sollen gefälschte Arbeitsverträge als geringfügig Beschäftigte beim Jobcenter Bremerhaven vorgelegt haben. Wenn jemand arbeitet, aber das Einkommen zum Leben nicht reicht, zahlt das Jobcenter ergänzend, bis die Grundsicherung erreicht ist – also der Hartz IV-Satz. Der liegt für einen Erwachsenen derzeit bei 404 Euro im Monat, dazu kommen Miete und Nebenkosten. So kamen die Zuwanderer an Sozialleistungen, die ihnen eigentlich nur zustehen, wenn sie bereits in Deutschland gearbeitet haben.\nEingefädelt hat dieses System wohl der Verein „Agentur für Beschäftigung und Integration“ (ABI). Und dafür sollen Vereinsmitglieder einen Teil der Sozialleistungen von den Zuwanderern kassiert haben. Gegen zwei Männer, den Vorstand des Vereins und einen Mann, der als Dolmetscher tätig gewesen sein soll, hat die Staatsanwaltschaft nach Aussage ihres Sprechers Frank Passade ein Verfahren eingeleitet. Ob andere Firmen eine Rolle spielen, werde sich im Laufe der Ermittlungen zeigen. Das könnten zum Beispiel Firmen sein, die in den fingierten Arbeitsverträgen genannt werden.\n„Die Menschen, die es getroffen hat, sind ganz arm dran\"\nFriedrich-Wilhelm Gruhl leitet das Jobcenter in Bremerhaven. Er sagt, die Zahl der Leistungsempfänger sei zurückgegangen, seit die Staatsanwaltschaft ermittelt. Einige hätten sich selbst abgemeldet oder seien für die Behörde nicht mehr zu erreichen. Andere habe das Jobcenter abgemeldet. Aber einige der 1250 Leistungsempfänger, um die es geht, bekommen wohl auch aktuell noch Geld vom Jobcenter. Ein Team des Jobcenters wertet nun jeden Fall einzeln aus: Wo hat jemand unrechtmäßig Geld vom Jobcenter bekommen? Grundsätzlich müsse das Geld in solchen Fällen zurückgezahlt werden, sagt Gruhl.\nWütend ist er nicht auf die Menschen, die das Geld beim Jobcenter beantragt haben, sondern auf die Hintermänner: „Die Menschen, die es getroffen hat, sind ganz arm dran.“ Einige der Zuwanderer vermittelte der Verein wohl an Firmen. Dort arbeiteten die Zuwanderer für weniger als den Mindestlohn, sie sollen unter anderem Schiffe gereinigt haben. Gruhl sagt: „Sie sind ausgebeutet worden.“ Die Menschen seien offensichtlich nach Bremerhaven gelockt worden, die meisten kommen aus der gleichen bulgarischen Stadt: aus Warna, einer Hafenstadt am Schwarzen Meer.\nEnde 2014 hatten sie im Jobcenter einen ersten Verdacht, erzählt Gruhl: Die Zahl der Anträge auf ergänzende Leistungen sei gestiegen. Mitarbeiter stellten fest, dass viele Arbeitsbescheinigungen und Bescheinigungen über Selbständigkeit gleich aussahen. Dass die Leistungsempfänger zu den Bescheinigungen alle Türkisch sprachen. Und dass oft Vertreter des Vereins ABI die Zuwanderer ins Jobcenter begleiteten und übersetzten. Gruhl sagt: „Wir haben nie mit dem Verein zusammengearbeitet, aber wir haben ihn toleriert.“\nSie mussten dann Beweise finden, und im Frühjahr 2015 stellte Friedrich-Wilhelm Gruhl Strafanzeige. Neben den Vereinen „Agentur für Beschäftigung und Integration“ und „Gesellschaft für Familie und Gender Mainstreaming“ soll es auch um eine Hausverwaltungsfirma gehen. In Dortmund und Duisburg haben sie wohl ähnliche Probleme, Gruhl hat sich mit den Behördenleitern ausgetauscht.\n\"All das muss transparent aufgeklärt werden“\nÄhnliche Auffälligkeiten wie in Bremerhaven gebe es beim Jobcenter Bremen nicht, sagt ein Sprecher. Sie stünden mit den Kollegen im Kontakt, aber: „Wir können und wollen aber keine Personengruppe unter Generalverdacht stellen.“ Wenn ein Mitarbeiter einen Verdacht habe, dann werde dem nachgegangen. Jeder Einzelfall werde geprüft. „Wir tun alles dafür, dass die Steuergelder rechtmäßig verwendet werden.“ Eine hundertprozentige Sicherheit aber gebe es nicht.\nDie CDU fordert, den Vorfall politisch und behördlich aufzuarbeiten. „Bei diesem Betrugsfall in Millionenhöhe geht es auch um die Frage, warum ein Skandal dieser Größenordnung so lange unentdeckt bleiben kann. Welche Versäumnisse es möglicherweise bei den zuständigen Behörden gegeben hat und wo die politische Verantwortung liegt, all das muss transparent aufgeklärt werden“, sagt CDU-Fraktionschef Thomas Röwekamp. Nicht nur der Schaden für die öffentlichen Haushalte sei groß, der offenbar organisierte und massenhafte Sozialhilfebetrug sei auch ein fatales Signal gegenüber eines auf Solidarität beruhenden gesellschaftlichen Sozialsystems.\nDer Sprecher der Fraktion der Linken, Nelson Janßen, sieht das größere Vergehen bei dem lokalen Netzwerk, das die Notlage der aus Bulgarien und Rumänien Zugezogenen systematisch ausgenutzt und kriminelle Ausbeutungsstrukturen organisiert habe. „Die Ausbeutung von Billiglöhnern aus Südosteuropa hat nach den aktuellen Erkenntnissen in Bremerhaven in ganz großem Stil System.“\nDie Konsequenz für Friedrich-Wilhelm Gruhl: Seine Mitarbeiter müssen noch intensiver prüfen, die Antragsteller noch intensiver befragen. Und zwar mit den eigenen Leuten, nicht mit Dolmetschern, die irgendein Verein stellt.\nEin kleiner Nebeneffekt: Nun, wo der Betrug aufgedeckt ist, könnte Gruhls Meinung nach die Arbeitslosenquote sinken. Denn wer weniger als 15 Stunden die Woche arbeitet, gilt bei den Behörden als arbeitslos – und geht deshalb in die Arbeitslosenstatistik ein. Ende April erscheinen die aktuellen Arbeitslosenzahlen. Bei 16 Prozent lag die Arbeitslosenquote Ende März. Gruhl hofft, dass im April wieder eine 15 vor dem Komma steht.", "url": "http://www.weser-kurier.de/bremen/bremen-politik-wirtschaft_artikel,-Staatsanwaltschaft-ermittelt-wegen-Hartz-IV-Betrugs-_arid,1353015.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20160413120344/http://www.weser-kurier.de/bremen/bremen-politik-wirtschaft_artikel,-Staatsanwaltschaft-ermittelt-wegen-Hartz-IV-Betrugs-_arid,1353015.html" }, { "language": "de", "title": "60.000 Euro - Jobcenter-Mitarbeiterin veruntreute Obdachlosen-Geld", "text": "Gericht\n2014-07-15T16:03:58+02:00\nKrefeld.

It’s a low-tech way to catch urine samples from dogs, which are tested to ensure that none of the canine athletes in the Yukon Quest are using performance-enhancing substances.\nAlthough samples are taken throughout the race, most are acquired during the 24-hour layover in Dawson, where there’s ample time to collect them.\n“I just find out when they’re going to walk their dogs and follow them around,” said Russell-Swope, a Quest vet assistant from Paxson and Fairbanks.\nEach sample is sent to a Colorado lab, where it’s checked for scores of substances that include painkillers, steroids and caffeine. The dogs are selected for testing randomly, Russell-Swope said, but members of each team are tested.\nHead veterinarian Nina Hansen said there hasn’t been a problem with drugs during her six years on the Quest.

Februar 2007 (5-1 StE 1/83) hat der 5. Strafsenat des Oberlandesgerichts Stuttgart die Vollstreckung des Rests der gegen Brigitte Mohnhaupt verhängten lebenslangen Freiheitsstrafe mit Wirkung zum 27. März 2007 zur Bewährung ausgesetzt. Frau Mohnhaupt wird zu diesem Zeitpunkt 24 Jahre Freiheitsstrafe verbüßt haben.\nDie Bewährungszeit beträgt 5 Jahre. Die Verurteilte wird der Aufsicht und Leitung eines Bewährungshelfers unterstellt. Außerdem wurden Auflagen zur Meldung des Wohnsitzes und der Arbeitsstelle gemacht.\nEs handelt sich nicht um eine Entscheidung im Gnadenweg, sondern um eine an bestimmte gesetzliche Voraussetzungen gebundene richterliche Entscheidung.\nDer Senat hat entschieden, dass unter Berücksichtigung des Sicherheitsinteresses der Allgemeinheit die Aussetzung zur Bewährung verantwortet werden kann.\nIn der Entscheidung wird ausgeführt: „Der Senat sieht - in Übereinstimmung mit dem Vertreter der Generalbundesanwältin und mit der Beurteilung des psychiatrischen Sachverständigen - keine Anhaltspunkte für eine fortdauernde Gefährlichkeit der Verurteilten, d.h. für die Gefahr, dass sie künftig neue schwere Straftaten begehen könnte.“\nDa alle gesetzlichen Voraussetzungen einer bedingten Entlassung vorlägen, sei die Vollstreckung des Strafrestes zur Bewährung auszusetzen.\nGemäß § 57 a StGB (vergleiche unten Hinweis Ziff. 3) hat das Gericht die Vollstreckung des Restes einer lebenslangen Freiheitsstrafe zur Bewährung auszusetzen, wenn\na) 15 Jahre der Strafe verbüßt sind, b) nicht die besondere Schwere der Schuld des Verurteilten die weitere Vollstreckung gebietet, c) die Aussetzung unter Berücksichtigung des Sicherheitsinteresses der Allgemeinheit verantwortet werden kann, d) der Verurteilte einwilligt.\nBrigitte Mohnhaupt wurde am 11. November 1982 festgenommen und befindet sich seither in Haft (zur Berechnung der Haftdauer siehe unten Hinweis Ziff. 1).\nDie 57-jährige Brigitte Mohnhaupt wurde\nwegen der Ermordung des Generalbundesanwalts Buback und seiner Begleiter Göbel und Wurster, wegen der Ermordung Jürgen Pontos, wegen der Ermordung Dr. Schleyers und seiner Begleiter Marcisz, Brändle, Ulmer und Pieler, wegen der versuchten Ermordung von mindestens 5 Staatsanwälten der Bundesanwaltschaft, wegen der versuchten Ermordung von General Kroesen, seiner Ehefrau und zwei Begleitern\ndurch Urteil des 5. Strafsenats des Oberlandesgerichts Stuttgart vom 2. April 1985 zu fünf lebenslangen Einzelfreiheitsstrafen und einer Freiheitsstrafe von 15 Jahren verurteilt. Durch Beschluss des Bundesgerichtshofs (BGH) vom 16. Juli 1986 wurde im Revisionsverfahren hieraus eine lebenslange Freiheitsstrafe als Gesamtstrafe gebildet (siehe unten Hinweis Ziff. 2).\nDurch Beschluss vom 15. März 2006 hat der 5. Strafsenat angesichts der besonderen Schwere der Schuld die Mindestverbüßungsdauer für die Verurteilte auf 24 Jahre festgesetzt. Die Aussetzung der Vollstreckung des Restes der lebenslangen Freiheitsstrafe wurde damals abgelehnt.\nFrau Mohnhaupt hat nun erneut einen Antrag auf Aussetzung des Strafrestes zur Bewährung gestellt. Die nach dem Gesetz erforderlichen Stellungnahmen der Justizvollzugsanstalt Aichach und ein Sachverständigengutachten zur Kriminalprognose liegen dem Oberlandesgericht vor. Der Senat hat Frau Mohnhaupt am 22. Januar 2007 persönlich angehört.\nZum Beschluss vom 12. Februar 2007\nErgänzende Hinweise:\n1.\nDie Strafvollstreckung wurde mehrfach zur Vollstreckung von Erzwingungs- und Ordnungshaft unterbrochen, so dass 24 Jahre erst mit Ablauf des 26. März 2007 vollstreckt sind.\n2.\nHintergrund der BGH-Entscheidung vom 16. Juli 1986 (Bildung einer Gesamtstrafe aus fünf lebenslangen Freiheitsstrafen und einer Freiheitsstrafe von 15 Jahren) war eine Gesetzesänderung. Seit 1. Mai 1986 kann nämlich nicht mehr als eine lebenslange Freiheitsstrafe verhängt werden (§ 54 Abs. 1 Satz 1 Strafgesetzbuch). Wäre die Verurteilung durch das Oberlandesgericht also nach dem 1. Mai 1986 erfolgt, so hätten nicht fünf lebenslange Freiheitsstrafen, sondern nur eine lebenslange Freiheitsstrafe als Gesamtstrafe verhängt werden dürfen. Mit seiner Entscheidung hat der BGH das bis dahin noch nicht rechtskräftige Urteil dieser neuen Gesetzeslage angepasst.\n3.\n§ 57 a Strafgesetzbuch gilt in der oben zitierten Fassung erst seit dem 1. Januar 1999. Diese Gesetzesänderung basiert auf einer grundlegenden Entscheidung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts zur lebenslangen Freiheitsstrafe. Die besondere Schwere der Schuld wird nach heute geltendem Recht bereits im Strafurteil festgestellt. Diese Entscheidung musste im vorliegenden Fall vom Strafsenat als Vollstreckungsgericht durch Beschluss vom 15. März 2006 nachgeholt werden.", "url": "http://www.olg-stuttgart.de/servlet/PB/menu/1204542/index.html?ROOT=1182029", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20070216010756/http://www.olg-stuttgart.de/servlet/PB/menu/1204542/index.html%3FROOT%3D1182029" } ]

Die deutsche Botschaft in Peking sei angewiesen worden, die chinesische Regierung umgehend um Aufklärung zu ersuchen, sagte Außenamtssprecher Martin Jäger am Dienstag.\nDer Intendant des Norddeutschen Rundfunks (NDR), Jobst Plog, protestierte schriftlich beim chinesischen Botschafter in Berlin. \"Es steht außer Zweifel, dass der Überfall ein Racheakt unter anderem wegen seiner Äußerungen im Deutschen Fernsehen war.\" Plog forderte, alles zu veranlassen, \"dass dem schwer verletzten Fu Xiancai jede notwendige und mögliche medizinische Versorgung zuteil wird\". Die Sprecherin des Außenministeriums in Peking sagte: \"Die Details des Falles sind mir nicht klar.\"\nIn dem ARD-Bericht am 19. Mai hatte Fu Xiancai beklagt, er habe wie viele andere nicht die versprochene Entschädigung für die Umsiedlung bekommen. \"Ich war 15-mal in Peking, um mich bei der Zentralregierung zu beschweren, über 50-mal bei der Orts- und Provinzverwaltung. Nie wurde mir geholfen. Im Gegenteil: Ich wurde bedroht und geschlagen.\"\nWegen der Äußerungen war Fu Xiancai am 8. Juni von der Polizei im Kreis Zigui (Provinz Hubei) verhört und verwarnt worden. Auf dem Rückweg schlug ihn ein Angreifer mit einem schweren Objekt von hinten nieder. Dem Chinesen, der seit Jahren gegen Korruption bei der Umsiedlung der mehr als eine Million Menschen für das größte Wasserkraftwerk der Welt in Zentralchina protestiert, war schon mehrfach mit Gewalt oder gar dem Tode gedroht worden, berichtete die Menschenrechtsgruppe Human Rights in China (HRiC). Jetzt wolle das Krankenhaus die Behandlung einstellen, falls die Familie nicht 80.000 Yuan (8.000 Euro) zahle. Seine Angehörigen hätten aber nur 7.000 Yuan (700 Euro) aufbringen können.\nIn seinem Brief an den Botschafter schrieb der NDR-Intendant, der Angriff \"verheißt nichts Gutes\" für die Berichterstattung über die Olympischen Spiele 2008 in Peking. Der Deutsche Journalisten-Verband forderte die Bundesregierung auch mit Blick auf Olympia zur Intervention auf. Peking müsse garantieren, dass ausländische Korrespondenten \"ungehindert und frei berichten können\". \"Dazu gehört auch, dass Informanten keine Angst vor Repressalien haben müssen.\"\nAußenamtssprecher Jäger betonte, die Wahrung von bürgerlichen Grundfreiheiten und möglichst ungehinderten Arbeitsbedingungen für ausländische Journalisten seien wichtige Anliegen der deutschen Außenpolitik und zudem wiederkehrendes Thema des Meinungsaustausches zwischen der deutschen und der chinesischen Regierung.

While Fu was walking home after the meeting, an unknown person struck him from behind with a heavy object, leaving him unconscious on the side of the road. Approximately half an hour later, a passerby saw Fu and called for emergency assistance. Fu was taken to the hospital, where X-rays determined that his neck had been fractured. Fu is currently paralyzed from his shoulders down and has lost control of all bodily functions except his ability to speak.\nSince the local hospital lacked the resources to perform the necessary surgery on Fu, he was transferred to the No. 1 People's Hospital in Yichang City. However, surgery is being postponed because Fu is still suffering from a fever. An additional threat to Fu's recovery is a lack of financial resources, as his family has only been able to scrape together 7,000 yuan out of the estimated 80,000 yuan needed for surgery. According to HRIC's sources, hospital officials have stated that all medical treatment for Fu will be stopped if his family cannot come up with more money.\nSources say authorities have been trying to prevent news of Fu's assault and injuries from getting out. Police officers have been placed on 24-hour watch outside of Fu's hospital room, and only his immediate family members have been allowed to visit him. Someone reported the incident to the German journalist who had interviewed Fu, but when Das Erste's Beijing correspondent arrived at the hospital with a photographer, police barred them from entry.\nSources say Fu was interviewed by Das Erste in May for the program \"A Celebration of the Construction of the Three Gorges Dam,\" which was broadcast on May 20. Sources say that PSB security squad leader Wang Xiankui warned Fu Xiancai that this kind of \"oppositionist\" interview \"would not have good consequences,\" and that he could easily send Fu off to Reeducation Through Labor at any time. Sources say Wang also warned Fu of possible negative consequences to his family.\nSince the 1990s, Fu Xiancai and others who were forcibly resettled for the Three Gorges Dam project have been petitioning provincial and state authorities over the resettlement terms and compensation. In many cases, villagers have not only been resettled on land greatly inferior to that of their original homes, but have also been deprived of the compensation promised to them by corrupt local officials. These cases are so common and well-documented that they constitute a systemic abuse that should be addressed by the central authorities. However, the central government continues to turn a blind eye to abuses against Three Gorges villagers and victims of land grabs throughout China, with the result that rural discontent is increasingly becoming a destabilizing factor nationwide.\nFu Xiancai is one of dozens of villagers who have been harassed, injured or detained over the past 10 years for petitioning and protesting the conditions imposed on those resettled for the Three Gorges Dam project. Over the past year, Fu has come under constant surveillance, and he and his family members have been subjected to chilling harassment, threats, assaults and injuries by mafia elements, but local authorities have failed to apprehend the culprits or provide any protection:\nMay 14, 2005 – After Fu was interviewed by American newspaper journalists, Wang Xiankui reportedly delivered several threats to Fu and his family, saying that Fu would be severely punished for unlawfully accepting an interview from the foreign press.\n– After Fu was interviewed by American newspaper journalists, Wang Xiankui reportedly delivered several threats to Fu and his family, saying that Fu would be severely punished for unlawfully accepting an interview from the foreign press.

September 20, 2005 – When Fu and some other petitioners were en route to Beijing to petition the central authorities, they were assaulted by village officials while local police stood by and did not intervene.

January 15 and 18, 2006 – In the early hours of both mornings, a car drove up to Fu's home, and someone pelted stones at his house. When Fu reported the incidents to the Maoping Township PSB dispatch station on January 20, deputy station head Du Erhu reportedly said to him, \"If you continue with your lawsuit, your family will never have peace and will be constantly harassed. I don't believe that if we arrest you, the American devils will invade China.\" The next night, someone left a stack of fake money used in funeral offerings in front of Fu's door. HRIC condemns this brutal assault on Fu Xiancai that has left him critically injured and potentially paralyzed. As a result of his legitimate petitioning activities, Fu has been made a target of a chilling pattern of harassment, assault, death threats and abuse by individuals who have been clearly allowed to act with impunity. HRIC calls on the Hubei provincial government to launch a full and transparent investigation into these crimes against Fu Xiancai and uphold its responsibility to investigate and prosecute crimes against its citizens.

Augenzeugen des dramatischen Geschehens am frühen Morgen des 19. August 2009 in Viernheim (Kreis Bergstraße) glaubten an einen Terror- oder Giftgasanschlag. ,,Ich hatte mit dem Leben abgeschlossen\", sagte ein Zeuge, der Sprengstoff-Explosionen und Reizgasgranaten aus immerhin 400 bis 500 Meter Entfernung miterlebte. Die heute zehn Jahre alte Tochter einer unmittelbar betroffenen Familie in Viernheim ist noch immer in psychiatrischer Behandlung.\nEin ganzes Stadtviertel versetzte der als ,,Bombenleger von Viernheim\" bekannt gewordene 45 Jahre alte, selbstständige Gas- und Wasserinstallateur in Angst und Schrecken. Aus Ärger über aus seiner Sicht nicht vollständig bezahlte Handwerkerrechnungen warf der bekennende ,,Militarist\" Splittergranaten, Sprengladungen und Reizgasbomben in die Häuser zweier ehemaliger Kunden in Weinheim und Viernheim und zerschoss mit einem Sturmgewehr zwei Autos der Viernheimer Familie.\nAnschließend verschanzte er sich in seiner zu einer militärischen Festung ausgebauten Wohnung, in der er Konserven für drei Monate und Trinkwasser bunkerte. Mit Hilfe einer Solaranlage versuchte er, sich unabhängig vom Stromnetz zu machen. Erst nach 28 Stunden gab er auf - frisch geduscht und zu einem Zeitpunkt, den er selbst festlegte. Das ganze Szenario hat er nach eigenen Angaben acht Monate vorbereitet.\nSelbst erfahrene Polizisten staunten über das in der Wohnung des Mehrfamilienhauses, dem Keller und einem Erdbunker im Garten der Eltern gesammelte Sprengpotenzial mit 30 Handgranaten, fünf Kriegswaffen, 15 800 Schuss Munition. Neunzehn Häuser in der Nachbarschaft mit hundert Bewohnern mussten bis zu vier Tage lang geräumt werden.\nZum Prozessauftakt gestern vor dem Landgericht Darmstadt redete der hochgewachsene Mann, der mit braunen Haaren und Brille auf den ersten Blick eher unscheinbar wirkt, wie ein Wasserfall. Freimütig räumte er die Sprengstoffanschläge gegen beide Familien ein. ,,Das war ein Verbrechen, das verdient Strafe, das ist gar keine Frage\", betonte der Viernheimer. Er bestreitet aber jegliche Tötungsabsicht. Wenn er jemand hätte töten wollen, hätte ihn niemand daran hindern können, in das Haus zu gehen und die Granate direkt neben das Bett zu werfen, so seine Argumentation.\nDetailliert geht der Richter auf die verheerende Wirkung von Splittergranaten, Sprengstoff und Sturmgewehren ein. In 15 bis 20 Meter Radius wirke eine bestimmte Handgranate tödlich, gibt der Mann zu. Weil er nicht habe wissen können, dass die Weinheimer Familie verreist war und er in Viernheim auf zwei Autos schoss, obwohl die damals neun Jahre alte Tochter der Familie in Panik lief und in der Nähe stand, klagt ihn die Staatsanwaltschaft wegen versuchten Mordes in zwei Fällen an. Weiter angeklagt ist er wegen des Herbeiführens von Sprengstoffexplosionen in zwei Fällen und Verstoßes gegen das Kriegswaffenkontrollgesetz, sondern .\nAusführlich schildert der Angeklagte seine Motive. Wegen 25 000 Euro Schulden habe er sich in einer ausweglosen Lage befunden. ,,Ich war nur noch im Hamsterrad, um irgendwie Geld zu beschaffen\", betont der Fünfundvierzigjährige. Weil er seit Februar/März die Mieter nicht mehr bezahlt hatte, drohte ihm zudem die Zwangsräumung. Beide Familien hätten ihm Geld vorenthalten. ,,Ich wollte ihnen zeigen, dass man das mit mir nicht machen kann. Auch dem Staat habe ers eine Grenzen aufzeigen wollen. Auf dessen Justiz war er wegen angeblichen Benachteiligungen bei seiner Scheidung und einem Nachbarschaftsstreit schlecht zu sprechen.\nLetztlich ging es um überschaubare Beträge: Die Weinheimer Familie, für die er Bäder in einer Immobilie in Mannheim sanierte, behielt 2007 die Hälfte der vereinbarten 5000 Euro ein, nachdem der Handwerker durch einen Wasserschaden Teile des Laminats ruinierte. Die Weinheimer Familie war 2008 nicht zufrieden mit einer von ihm installierten Fußbodenheizung, die das Bodenniveau um vier Millimeter hob und behielt 5000 bis 6000 Euro ein.\nWarum diese banalen Anlässe bei dem Mann, der sich als selbst als relativ umgänglich schildert, zu einer derartigen Eskalation führten, soll ein Gutachter klären. Der Prozess wird am 12. Mai fortgesetzt.", "url": "http://www.echo-online.de/suedhessen/bergstrasse/rhein-neckar/Prozessauftakt-fuer-den-Bombenleger-von-Viernheim;art1252,898002", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100709180841/http://www.echo-online.de/suedhessen/bergstrasse/rhein-neckar/Prozessauftakt-fuer-den-Bombenleger-von-Viernheim;art1252,898002" }, { "language": "de", "title": "Zwölf Jahre für \"Bombenleger von Viernheim\": \"Sie sind eine gefährliche Person\"", "text": "Zwölf Jahre Gefängnis für Sprengstoffanschläge auf zwei Wohnhäuser: Das Landgericht Darmstadt hat am Montag das Urteil gegen den Bombenleger Jürgen K. aus Viernheim gefällt. Der 45 Jahre alte Handwerker hatte im August vergangenen Jahres Schäden in fünfstelliger Höhe angerichtet und zwei Menschen verletzt. Die Tat sei \"so unstreitig wie unfassbar\", sagte der Vorsitzende Richter Volker Wagner.\nUnfassbar sei schon die Tatsache, dass sich ein Privatmann an derartiges Waffenarsenal anlegen konnte. Nach den beiden Anschlägen hatte sich K. fast 28 Stunden lang in seiner Wohnung verbarrikadiert. Bei der Festnahme am 20. August beschlagnahmte die Polizei etliche Gewehre und Handgranaten sowie kiloweise Sprengstoff und rund 15.000 Schuss Munition. Der Handwerker war früher Wachmann eines US-Munitionslagers in Viernheim. 1987 und 1991 war er bereits wegen Straftaten gegen das Sprengstoffgesetz verurteilt worden.\nIn den Wohnhäusern in Weinheim und Viernheim hatte er Aufträge als Gas- und Wasserinstallateur ausgeführt. Dass die Familien die Rechnungen wegen Beanstandungen nur teilweise bezahlt hatten, war nach Ansicht des Richters nur ein Auslöser für die Tat.\n\"Sie sind eine gefährliche Person. Sie haben einfach mal den Dicken machen wollen\", sagte der Vorsitzende Richter Volker Wagner in seiner knapp einstündigen Urteilsbegründung. Jürgen K. habe seine Opfer ihre Ohnmacht spüren und wie Marionetten tanzen lassen wollen.\nEr habe aber nicht Todesopfer billigend in Kauf genommen; deshalb kam für das Gericht eine Verurteilung wegen versuchten Mordes nicht infrage. Die Staatsanwaltschaft hatte diesen Anklagevorwurf fallenlassen und 13 Jahre Haft wegen Herbeiführens einer Sprengstoffexplosion in zwei Fällen gefordert.\nDas Vorgehen des Täters bezeichnete der Richter als naiv. Er habe sich eingebildet, alles im Griff zu haben, in Wirklichkeit sei ihm die Kontrolle vollkommen entglitten. Eine Analyse habe ergeben, dass K. im Umgang mit Waffen lediglich über ein \"gefährliches Halbwissen\" verfüge. Hätte bei seinem ersten Anschlag nicht ein Zünder versagt, wäre er hier mit großer Sicherheit selbst mit in die Luft geflogen.\nEin Kilo TNT sollte explodieren\nDer geschiedene und allein lebende Handwerker war am 19. August 2009 mit Tarnkleidung und Gasmaske ausgerüstet mit dem Auto nach Weinheim (Baden-Württemberg) gefahren. Dort ließ er gegen 05.00 Uhr auf einem Balkon eines Mehrfamilienhauses eine Handgranate explodieren und zündete eine Reizgas-Granate. Er versuchte vergeblich, auch noch ein Kilogramm Sprengstoff TNT zur Explosion zu bringen. Die Bewohner waren nicht zu Hause.\nKurz nach 06.00 Uhr verübte er Anschläge auf ein Einfamilienhaus in Viernheim, während die vierköpfige Familie zu Hause war. Dabei setzte er 400 bis 500 Gramm hochwirksamen Sprengstoff ein und zündete eine Reizgas-Granate; außerdem schoss er mit einer automatischen Waffe unter anderem auf das Auto der Familie. Bei der Flucht schlug der 32-jährige Familienvater eine Fensterscheibe ein und erlitt Schnittwunden an der Hand. Die Frau sowie die Kinder im Alter von sieben und neun Jahren erlitten einen Schock.\nUm 06.53 Uhr rief der Täter die Polizei in Darmstadt an und forderte, dass sich die Einsatzkräfte aus seinem Sichtbereich zurückziehen. Er habe in seiner Wohnung erhebliche Mengen Sprengstoff deponiert und sei bereit, diesen auch hochgehen zu lassen. Die Polizei evakuierte die Umgebung. Die Bewohner und Geschäftsleute konnten erst zwei Tage später zurückkehren. Am 20. August um 10 Uhr gab der Bombenleger auf und stellte sich mit erhobenen Händen der Polizei.\nDer beim Anschlag verletzte Mann sagte nach der Urteilsverkündung, er könne nicht verstehen, dass der Angeklagte nicht wegen Mordversuchs verurteilt werde. \"Das Schlimmste: Er hat nie auch nur den Versuch gewagt, sich zu entschuldigen\", beklagte.", "url": "http://www.stern.de/panorama/zwoelf-jahre-haft-fuer-bombenleger-von-viernheim-sie-sind-eine-gefaehrliche-person-1576371.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100626001957/http://www.stern.de/panorama/zwoelf-jahre-fuer-bombenleger-von-viernheim-sie-sind-eine-gefaehrliche-person-1576371.html" }, { "language": "de", "title": "Viernheim: Bombenleger zu zwölf Jahren Haft verurteilt", "text": "Wenn Sie eine Webseite unseres Internetauftritts aufrufen, die den Button enthält, baut Ihr Browser eine direkte Verbindung mit den Servern von Facebook auf.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "National Express back on track with rail win", "text": "National Express back on track with rail win\nLast Updated: 1:23am GMT 11/12/2007\nWill the train operator's chief be able to keep the customers satisfied with his ambitious timetable for improvement, asks Jonathan Russell\nFor the bleary-eyed travellers on this morning's 07.58 train from Newcastle to London their three-and-a-half-hour journey probably represents little more than the end of another weekend. For National Express, the company operating that train, it is the start of a seven-year journey at the controls of arguably the most important rail franchise in the country.\nFor the passenger, journey's end is King's Cross. But for National Express and Richard Bowker, its chief executive, the objective is to rebuild a rail franchise that failed to meet its financial and operational targets under the previous operator, GNER.\nUnder GNER passengers on the 07.58 had little more than an 80 per cent chance of getting to London on time. For Bowker the aim is to increase this to nearer 90 per cent in 12 months. Under GNER the franchise failed to meet its target of returning £1.3bn to the Government over 10 years. For Bowker the plan is to pay £1.4bn over seven.\nBoth targets are hugely ambitious. When the cost of the winning bid was revealed more than a few eyebrows were raised both in the City and among rival operators. But for Bowker and National Express, which had already lost two of the three bids they had put in for in the recent round of franchise tenders, the win was crucial.\n\"It is hugely important for us,\" he explains. \"We hadn't won a franchise for a little while. This is probably the highest-profile franchise in the country. It was a huge vote of confidence in National Express. It puts us back in the premier league of train operators.\" But for transport groups rail franchises can be an easy way to get things wrong. The financial and reputational risks are enormous. GNER was forced to hand the franchise back to the Government in December last year just 18 months into a 10-year deal - unable to pay Government the premiums it had promised.\nadvertisement\nHaving won the franchise, Bowker's next job is ensuring that he does not fall into the same financial trap as GNER. He says: \"We have made sure that every pound of that franchise bid is one that we can earn. We are not in the business of winging these things.\"\nThe bottom line for Bowker is a forecast that revenue on the franchise will rise eight per cent per year, through a combination of increased passenger numbers and fare rises.\nGNER ran into trouble for two reasons. First its payment schedule was loaded on the first few years of the contract, when franchises are most expensive to run. Secondly, and largely unconnected to the franchise, its parent company, Sea Containers, was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.\nNational Express has weighted its payment schedule towards the end of its seven-year franchise when the projected rise in demand and a 20 per cent increase in capacity should have substantially boosted revenues.\nBowker says: \"In 2010 there will be a significant uplift in capacity, allowing us to increase the number of trains from 136 to 161 per day. That equates to an extra 14,000 passengers per day.\"\nIn the railway business bums on seats is what it is all about.\nTo this end Bowker is championing his CRM programme or \"customer relationship management\". While this has been scoffed at by rivals who prefer to spend time with engineers than marketers, it is something Bowker is convinced can make a difference.\n\"Customer relationship management is a hard-nosed commercial reality,\" he says. \"The problem with transport businesses is that we have become better at dispensing a service but none of us have any idea who our customers are.\"\nTo illustrate the point he cites a pilot scheme run this time last year aimed at getting more young families to use National Express's Silverlink service for shopping trips. The marketing effort cost the company about £20,000, but, according to Bowker, resulted in an additional £60,000 in revenue. In a fixed-cost business such as the railway the £40,000 balance goes straight to the bottom line.\nIn much the same vein National Express is investing about £1m in rebranding its entire business including the local bus network, its ONE franchise and Intercity East Coat. The programme will be introduced in stages to reduce costs with new liveries applied as new vehicles are introduced or existing ones are renovated. Whether or not brand is a selling point in a transport market that offers little choice of supplier is questionable. However, it is worth noting that National Express's new franchise is effectively the only one in the country to face competition from open-access train operators in the shape of Hull Trains and the soon to be introduced Grand Central.\nBut for passengers the only thing that matters is whether the service runs on time. According to Bowker the key to achieving that is in the detail. Are the doors closed on time? Does the platform guard have his eye firmly on the clock in the crucial two or three minutes before departure? For him the focus is as much on when the train departs as when it arrives. He says: \"It comes down to the very basic stuff. If you are sloppy about two or three aspects of the process it can affect the whole timetable. \"\nBut Bowker admits that some of the issues are out of his hands. To keep his network running on time he needs Network Rail to keep the infrastructure in good order. To this end National Express has agreed a 100-day \"action plan\" with Network Rail on how to deal with long-term problems such as maintaining and repairing overhead lines and deadlines for engineering work.\nBut hard as National Express and Network Rail may work to improve the business it is the travelling public that will determine its success. A lot of the factors - petrol prices, road congestion and the green agenda - are out of his control. In the final reckoning it is the passenger on the 07.58 who will decide.\nPublishers wishing to reproduce photographs on this page should phone 44 (0) 207 538 7505 or e-mail [email protected]\nPost this story to: del.icio.us | Digg | Newsvine | NowPublic | Reddit", "url": "http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2007/12/09/ccne109.xml", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20071211180427/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2007/12/09/ccne109.xml" }, { "language": "en", "title": "East Coast route has new operator", "text": "The service will be replaced by the National Express East Coast.\nGNER had operated the service since 1996, but has now been replaced by National Express East Coast.\nThe route was put out to tender last year, after GNER's parent firm said it could not pay £1.3bn it had promised the government to run the service.\nThe new operator has promised to improve punctuality and spend £24m on new rolling stock.\nNational Express beat off opposition from Arriva, First Group and a joint venture between Virgin and Stagecoach to win the contract.\nThe route links London with Scotland, calling at Peterborough, Leeds, Doncaster, York, Darlington, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness.\nNational Express agreed to pay the treasury £1.4bn to operate the franchise until the end of March 2015.\nThe last GNER train will run on Saturday night\nThe group, which also operates the Gatwick Express and Stansted Express, as well as One and C2c train companies, has pledged a new fleet of extra trains by the end of 2010 - delivering 14,000 extra seats a day.\nIt has also promised a £7.4m package of station upgrades and a further £8m on station gating schemes, including automatic ticket gates at eight stations.\nGroup chief executive Richard Bowker said: \"Our plans for the franchise are ambitious and challenging and the customer is at the heart of them.\n\"We have an exciting package of innovation and investment planned, which are aimed at making services attractive to many more people.\n\"We will offer improved reliability, more trains and seats, easier ticketing and updated catering.\"", "url": "http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7134314.stm", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20071210104725/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/7134314.stm" } ]

Silveira afirmou que já pediu à prefeitura cópia do processo de licitação.\nEm 2005, Antonio Palocci (PT) foi acusado de envolvimento com a máfia do lixo em Ribeirão Preto quando era prefeito do município.

Nach SPIEGEL-Informationen soll der US-Geheimdienst mehr als 400 Mal deutsche Flughäfen oder zumindest den hiesigen Luftraum genutzt haben.\nREUTERS CIA-Jet (in Spanien): Regelmäßig über Deutschland unterwegs\nLaut Liste nutzten die US-Geheimen Deutschland in mindestens 437 Fällen für ihre nun international umstrittenen Flüge. Die Statistik fertigte die Deutsche Flugsicherung aufgrund einer Anfrage der Linkspartei im Bundestag an.\nDanach nutzten zwei auf Privatfirmen zugelassene Flugzeuge der CIA allein in den Jahren 2002 und 2003 zusammen 137- und 146-mal deutschen Luftraum oder landeten auf deutschen Flughäfen - vor allem in Frankfurt, Berlin und auf der amerikanischen Militärbasis Ramstein. Diplomaten erwarten, dass Rice in Deutschland sowohl in den Gesprächen mit Kanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) und Außenminister Frank-Walter Steinmeier (SPD) als auch in den Pressekonferenzen dazu Stellung beziehen muss.\nMitglieder der Bundesregierung fürchten, dass die CIA-Affäre sogar zu einer grundsätzlichen Debatte über die Stationierung von US-Truppen und die Nutzung des deutschen Luftraums für den Krieg im Irak führen könnte.\nDoch Berlin gerät in der Affäre auch selbst unter Druck. Bis zum 21. Februar müssen die Deutschen dem Straßburger Europarat erläutern, was sie in konkreten Entführungsfällen unternommen haben, nachdem sie davon erfuhren. So liegt dem Auswärtigen Amt spätestens seit Juni 2004 die Schilderung des aus dem Libanon stammenden Deutschen Khaled el-Masri über Misshandlungen an Bord einer CIA-Maschine vor. US-Behörden haben die Entführung Anfang 2005 informell bestätigt.\nBei Verstößen gegen die Menschenrechte von Gefangenen an Bord macht sich laut Völkerrecht möglicherweise auch jener Staat schuldig, der wissentlich nichts gegen Verstöße in seinem Hoheitsgebiet unternimmt.

[ { "language": "fr", "title": "Syrie : les élus d'Alep lancent un appel à l'aide humanitaire", "text": "A Alep, le 30 juin. AP\nIl y a des silences qui en disent plus long que des mots. La projection de quelques photos et d'une vidéo tremblante sur les ravages de la guerre dans la ville syrienne d'Alep ont laissé sans voix une assemblée pourtant composée de diplomates chevronnés. Quelques clichés ont suffi pour rappeler l'étendue des souffrances : une ville en partie rasée, des rues jonchées de corps déchiquetés et des regards terrorisés.\nSans pathos et d'un ton sobre et posé, une délégation de quatre élus de la région d'Alep, qui a achevé, mercredi 3 juillet, une visite de dix jours en France, a rencontré, mardi, au Quai d'Orsay, des représentants des ambassades des vingt-huit pays membres de l'Union européenne. Comme à chaque étape de leur séjour, ils ont rappelé les conditions de vies dramatiques dans cette région du nord de la Syrie, en partie contrôlée par les forces opposées au régime de Bachar Al-Assad. Et ont dressé une liste des besoins humanitaires urgents.\nTOUT EST À RECONSTRUIRE\nSur place, les moyens dont disposent les rebelles pour rétablir un semblant de vie normale sont plus que limités. \"La communauté internationale a déçu le peuple syrien. Le montant du soutien qui est arrivé à Alep n'est que de 1,2 millions de dollars\" [920 000 euros], a rappelé Yahya Nanaa, le chef du conseil de la \"province libre\" d'Alep qui regroupe près de 7 millions d'habitants.\nComme les autres membres de la délégation, il a la particularité d'avoir été élu lors d'un scrutin, organisé tant bien que mal en mars, par les habitants des zones sous le contrôle de la rébellion pour choisir des représentants de la région et de la ville d'Alep. Pour des raisons de sécurité évidentes, ils ont installé leurs structures administratives de l'autre côté de la frontière, dans la ville turque de Gaziantep.\nAu-delà de la guerre, et les plus de cent mille morts et millions de réfugiés, ces représentants de la société civile s'évertuent, avec les moyens du bord, de rétablir un semblant de vie dans une ville où tout est à reconstruire. \"Le relèvement des services publics est un des éléments de stabilisation de la révolution\", a insisté Eric Chevallier, ancien ambassadeur de France à Damas, un des organisateurs du déplacement de cette délégation qui a rencontré Laurent Fabius, le ministre des affaires étrangères, le 25 juin.\nA Alep, le 3 juillet. REUTERS/MUZAFFAR SALMAN\nLes besoins sont criants. \"Des dizaines d'écoles ont été détruites, les centrales électriques et les stations de pompage d'eau ont été endommagées, les hôpitaux sont ciblés par les bombardements et les chirurgiens opèrent avec des lampes frontales\", a insisté Ahmad Azouz, le chef du conseil local de la ville d'Alep. \"Des épidémies commencent à apparaître, comme la rougeole et la tuberculose et, pour la première fois depuis 1966, nous avons recensé un cas de décès à cause de la polio\", a-t-il déploré.\nEt puis, il y a tout ce qui fait l'ordinaire d'une vie urbaine en temps normal et qui fait aujourd'hui cruellement défaut ; le ramassage et l'incinération des déchets, les transports, les services administratifs, etc. \"Nous avons les gens compétents pour faire fonctionner tous ces services, mais il nous manque du matériel et des moyens\", souligne Ahmad Azouz, précisant que la ville d'Alep n'a reçu que \"30 000 dollars d'aide ces cinq derniers mois\".\nTRAITEMENT ANTISARIN\nPlus grave, il y a surtout la menace des armes chimiques. L'Union des organisations syriennes de secours médicaux (UOSSM), qui regroupe des médecins présents à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du pays, a pu fournir des tentes de décontamination à la ville. Mais selon le Dr Abdellaziz, le médecin-chef d'Alep, les autorités locales ne disposent que \"seize masques protecteurs\" et de \"dix mille ampoules d'atropine\", un traitement antisarin. \"Nous avons, dit-il, un besoin impératif d'aide pour nous prémunir contre des frappes chimiques.\"\nDans ce contexte d'urgences et de tragédies, la délégation syrienne d'Alep a aussi tenu à demander du soutien pour que des lycéens puissent passer leur baccalauréat en août. Un pied de nez au drame, un pari insolent sur l'avenir. \"Comme les écoles sont ciblées par les bombardements, nous continuons d'organiser des cours là où nous le pouvons, dans les mosquées, les caves, les salles de fêtes\", a rapporté Abdulkareem Anees, responsable de l'éducation au conseil de la ville. En tout, près de dix mille élèves reçoivent un enseignement, dispensé par deux mille volontaires.\nMais pour que leurs efforts ne soient pas en vain, M. Anees ajoute une requête inhabituelle : \"Nous souhaiterions que des organismes internationaux compétents participent à la surveillance des examens pour que nos diplômes soient crédibles et reconnus, au même titre que ceux octroyés par l'Etat syrien\". L'enjeu, dit-il, est de taille : \"Le régime de Bachar Al-Assad interdit aux professeurs de travailler dans les zones libérées car il sait très bien que l'éducation est un moyen de lutter contre la tyrannie et l'extrémisme\".", "url": "http://www.lemonde.fr/proche-orient/article/2013/07/04/syrie-les-elus-d-alep-lancent-un-appel-a-l-aide-humanitaire_3442506_3218.html", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210319190450/https://www.lemonde.fr/proche-orient/article/2013/07/04/syrie-les-elus-d-alep-lancent-un-appel-a-l-aide-humanitaire_3442506_3218.html" } ]

Außerdem: Benny Lauth hat bei uns noch einen Vertrag und wird in der Rückrunde gebraucht.\nABENDBLATT: Kommen wir zu den großen Problemen des HSV, wird es in dieser Winterpause noch weitere Neuzugänge neben Frank Rost für Ihren Klub geben?\nHOFFMANN: Das kann ich nur insoweit ausschließen, wenn es entweder keine neuen verletzten Spieler gibt, oder, wofür aktuell nichts spricht, ein weiterer Spieler noch unseren Kader verlassen sollte - außer dem Torwart Wächter.\nABENDBLATT: Trainer Thomas Doll hat gesagt, der HSV würde im Fall Wächter in Sachen Ablösesumme seiner bisherigen Nummer eins entgegenkommen. Heißt das, Wächter kann ohne Ablöse gehen?\nHOFFMANN: Nein. Wenn es da Interesse gibt, würde man mit Sicherheit eine Regelung finden, aber ohne Ablöse geht das ganz sicher nicht über die Bühne.\nABENDBLATT: Themawechsel, wie geht es Ihnen nach den Turbulenzen um den Trainer?\nHOFFMANN: Das letzte halbe Jahr war für jeden, der in der Verantwortung stand, wirklich brutal. Man lebt ja in diesem Job von diesen Extremen, es geht nur zwischen Siegen und Niederlagen hin und her. Dadurch schafft man sich auch diese Balance. Und wenn dann das eine fast komplett ausfällt, nämlich die sportlichen Erfolge, dann zehrt das unglaublich an der Substanz. Deshalb war unbedingt notwendig, acht, neun Tage auszuspannen und durchzupusten. Denn das nächste halbe Jahr wird sicher nicht weniger stressig.\nABENDBLATT: Wieso das?\nHOFFMANN: Für uns geht es voraussichtlich bis zum letzten Spieltag um den Klassenerhalt.\nABENDBLATT: Sie erwarten nicht, dass der HSV durchstartet?\nHOFFMANN: Selbst wenn sie so spielen würde wie vor einem Jahr, so würde das bedeuten, dass wir am Ende 43 Punkte haben. Wir haben 13, wir haben in der letzten Rückrunde 30 Punkte geholt - selbst wenn wir 43 Punkte bekommen sollten, spielt man bis zum 32., 33. oder auch 34. Spieltag gegen den Abstieg.\nABENDBLATT: Die Entscheidung pro Doll, steht die bis in die Ewigkeit, oder wird die überdacht, wenn der Rückrundenstart nicht gelingen sollte?\nHOFFMANN: Damit beschäftigen wir uns nicht, wir gehen davon aus, dass uns der Start gelingen wird.

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Baghdad police attack 'kills 28'", "text": "This was the deadliest suicide strike in Iraq for nearly a month A suicide bomber has killed at least 28 people queuing outside a police recruitment centre in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, police say. At least 57 other people were wounded in the attack, carried out by a bomber on a motorcycle. Meanwhile, the US military says it is to reduce troop numbers in the country by 12,000 in the next six months. The level of violence in Iraq has declined since 2007, but it remains a feature of daily life for many Iraqis. At least 12 people died two days ago when a car bomb exploded at a cattle market in Babil province. There are still almost daily violent incidents in Baghdad. Explosives belt Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. The attack happened at about 1000 (0700 GMT) in \"the middle of a crowd outside the [police] academy on Palestine Street\", a police official told AFP news agency. Reports suggest the bomber detonated a belt of explosives as he crashed his motorbike into a line of people waiting at the side entrance to the training centre. Most of the dead were police recruits, while others were serving officers and civilians. The reported death toll quickly rose, making this the deadliest suicide strike reported in Iraq for nearly a month. Police recruitment centres have been a popular target for insurgents, and this academy has been attacked before. On 1 December last year, 15 police and recruits were killed, and another 45 people injured, in twin blasts at the building. And in 2005 two female suicide bombers attacked the building, killing 40 people. The BBC's Mike Sergeant says that measures have been taken to try to protect the building, such as setting up concrete blocks and checkpoints nearby. But he says that with the streams of police and recruits coming and going it is difficult to make it secure. Iraq has massively expanded its police and military forces over recent years as the government of Prime Minister Nouri Maliki seeks to ensure local forces can provide security amid the envisaged draw-down of US troops. Troop reduction As part of that draw-down, the US military announced on Sunday that it would not replace two brigades - comprising some 12,000 soldiers - due to leave Iraq over the next six months. \"Two brigade combat teams who were scheduled to redeploy in the next six months, along with enabling forces such as logistics, engineers and intelligence, will not be replaced,\" it said in a statement. [Al-Qaeda] want very much to maintain relevance\nMaj Gen David Perkins\nUS military spokesman Maj Gen David Perkins, a spokesman for US forces in Iraq, told a news conference that violence was at its lowest level since the summer of 2003. He claimed a recent series of attacks was evidence that terror groups such as al-Qaeda in Iraq were growing desperate as they sought to derail security gains in the country, the Associated Press reports. \"It's indicative that al-Qaeda feels threatened,\" he said. \"They're feeling desperate. They want very much to maintain relevance.\" Some 140,000 US soldiers are currently in the country. The withdrawal is part of President Barack Obama's plan to end the \"combat mission\" in Iraq by August 2010, entailing the withdrawal of some two-thirds of the US force there - some of which will be deployed in Afghanistan instead. That reduction will in part depend on the success of national elections later this year, our correspondent says. Between 35,000 and 50,000 American troops will then stay in Iraq for a further year, to provide support and training to Iraqi forces, the US says.\nBookmark with: Delicious\nDigg\nreddit\nFacebook\nStumbleUpon What are these?

The 63-year-old had been walking in the grounds of Calke Abbey, Derbyshire, on Saturday. He died at Queen's Hospital, Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire. Gordon Brown paid tribute to Mr Taylor, describing him as \"one of the most hard working MPs locally and nationally\". Mr Taylor won his seat in 1997 and his majority in 2005 was 4,477. He had been due to step down as the MP for North West Leicestershire at the next general election. The prime minister said Mr Taylor had been \"a strong campaigner and representative of his community for decades\". He was a great campaigner in the East Midlands, a very caring person and a popular local MP\nPhil Hope MP Mr Brown went on to praise the MP's \"indefatigable campaigning, constant attendance in the Commons and his independence of mind - no greater tribute can be made to David's lasting legacy as a local champion for North West Leicestershire\". Regional Minister for the East Midlands Phil Hope MP said: \"I am shocked and saddened at this news and my thoughts are with his family at this time. \"He was a great campaigner in the East Midlands, a very caring person and a popular local MP who believed deeply in the principles of social justice and co-operation. He will be much missed.\" Labour MP for Leicester South Sir Peter Soulsby said: \"It's a terrible shock. \"I'd known David for many years, long before he was a member of Parliament and he's remained unchanged through all of those years. \"He was kind, considerate, passionately committed and the absolute model of a backbencher.\" Backbencher award Mr Taylor had cited an \"excessive workload\" for his decision in May 2008 to stand down at the next general election and said he had faced increased abuse from constituents and in some cases threats to his life. He had said it had been an \"enormous privilege\" to represent the constituency and said at the time: \"The vast bulk of people you come into contact with are good, decent people.\" Before becoming an MP Mr Taylor was a member of Heather Parish Council and North West Leicestershire District Council. He worked as an accountant and computer manager at Leicestershire County Council between 1977 and 1997. In 2007, Mr Taylor was voted Backbencher of the Year. He served on three select committees, including the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee, and he was chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Smoking and Health. Deborah Arnott, director of the anti-smoking campaign group Ash, said Mr Taylor was \"crucial in getting the smoking ban legislation through parliament\". During the 1980s Mr Taylor was a keen long distance runner, competing in several half marathons and full marathons including the 1989 London Marathon in which he finished in just over three hours. In the 1990s he cycled routes including the Pennine Way and Coast to Coast. He is survived by four daughters and his wife Pam.\nBookmark with: Delicious\nDigg\nreddit\nFacebook\nStumbleUpon What are these?

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Election chance to put politics, economy in order", "text": "Election chance to put politics, economy in order\nMany people must feel that this country's backbone is in danger of splintering.\nThe Democratic Party of Japan-led government, which replaced the coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party and New Komeito last autumn, has brought major confusion to the political arena, rather than ushering in a new era of politics. The economy has been mired in deflation; glimmers of hope are few and far between.\nOfficial campaigning for the House of Councillors election kicked off after it was officially announced Thursday. We hope each political party will present practical \"prescriptions\" that can cure the ills afflicting this nation, including policies that can get the economy back on its feet and diplomatic and security policies for restructuring the Japan-U.S. alliance.\n===\nWeighing pledges\nNine political parties have selected candidates in the election. The July 11 poll has become a real scramble for votes. Voters should carefully examine each party's campaign pledges to determine whether they are realistic, and its candidates to see if they are trustworthy.\nFormer Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama lost the confidence of the public after being tarred by a money and politics scandal. He also severely strained this country's relations with the United States over the relocation of the U.S. military's Futenma Air Station in Okinawa Prefecture. As a result, he was forced to step down just over eight months after he assumed the premiership. He was replaced by Naoto Kan.\nThe candidates should first discuss what the two DPJ-led cabinets achieved and how they handled the responsibility of being in government.\nThe DPJ has been forced to revise the child-allowance program that headlined its manifesto for last year's House of Representatives election. Payments only started this month, but the lack of a revenue source has made the allowance untenable. Despite this, the DPJ has made no attempt to review and reflect on this and its other dole-out measures.\n===\nWhat's the difference?\nThe money scandals that tainted Hatoyama and former DPJ Secretary General Ichiro Ozawa remain far from resolved.\nWe wonder how--and whether--the Kan administration differs from the previous administration.\nThe Hatoyama administration was characterized by populist policies, such as an array of dole-out measures and the manner in which budget screening was conducted; bureaucrat-bashing under the name of giving politicians a greater role in running the government; money-oriented politics fueled by huge sums of cash; undemocratic tactics to ensure there was no vocal objections to Ozawa's dictatorship in the party; pro-China leanings and keeping the United States at arm's length; and strong-arm Diet management by using the party's sheer weight of numbers.\nKan was deputy prime minister and finance minister in the Hatoyama Cabinet. Can he truly break free from the nature of the former administration?\nThe DPJ should have sought a mandate from the people by dissolving the lower house for a general election. But because the DPJ avoided this option, it needs to fully explain these issues, otherwise voters will not be armed with enough facts to make an informed judgment on election day.\nThe issue of raising the consumption tax rate will be a crucial test of the Kan administration's ability to deliver.\nKan called for creation of a suprapartisan panel to discuss drastic tax reform--including the consumption tax--and hinted at raising the tax rate to 10 percent.\n===\nDebate sales tax\nRaising the consumption tax rate is an obvious step if one considers the nation's critical fiscal situation and ever-expanding social security costs. The LDP made the first move on raising the tax rate to 10 percent, the DPJ has followed. We applaud both parties for being responsible enough and having the stomach to squarely face this issue.\nYet, the DPJ's policy flip-flop has been derided by some as an attempt to deflect attention from the previous administration's shortcomings.\nKan should carefully explain the reasons why raising the consumption tax rate is necessary and how the revenue will be used. He also should unveil a detailed plan for reforming the entire tax system.\nPolitical parties that have come out against raising the consumption tax rate need to show realistic alternatives for the sake of deepening tax system debate.\nThe framework of the DPJ-People's New Party coalition government may need to be redesigned depending on how the parties fare in the election. This could be a golden chance for political realignment.\nA handful of new parties that proclaim themselves to be a \"third force\" behind the DPJ and LDP have fielded many candidates. Their campaigns could affect the election success of the two major parties.\nThe question on many observers' lips is whether the DPJ can snatch a majority in the upper house, which, when combined with its absolute majority in the lower house, would bring about a single party government.\nIf the DPJ falls short of this goal, the next focus will be on whether it can secure a majority in a coalition with the PNP. If the two parties lack the seats for a majority, the DPJ might have to hop into bed with some of the \"third force\" parties.\nThe LDP has made no secret of its target of preventing the ruling parties from gaining a majority in the upper house. It apparently intends to put a brake on DPJ-led politics by bringing about a \"divided Diet\" in which both chambers are controlled by different political forces.\nWhat kind of administration does this nation need? Each voter should cast their ballot with this question firmly in mind.\n===\nIdeal upper house functions\nThe upper house, once dubbed the \"chamber of wisdom,\" has long been ridiculed as the \"chamber of political maneuvers.\"\nThe DPJ wanted to go into the election while the Kan Cabinet rides high in public support polls and closed the Diet session without extending it. An upper house plenary session to vote on an opposition-sponsored motion to censure the prime minister was not held. Such actions besmirch the upper chamber's once lofty image of being a home to \"wisdom.\"\nThe DPJ, which became the largest party in the upper chamber following the previous upper house election, shot down bills and personnel assignment plans submitted by the then LDP-New Komeito coalition government to rattle the administration and threw the political situation into chaos.\nSome observers believe the authority of the House of Councillors, which has become too powerful, should be reined in. We urge each party to debate how an ideal upper house should function.\n(From The Yomiuri Shimbun, June 25, 2010)", "url": "http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/editorial/20100626TDY02T04.htm", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100630213238/http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/editorial/20100626TDY02T04.htm" } ]

Die Freude darüber ist riesengroß.\nFoto © KLZ\"Hofis\" Teamkollegen haben ein klares Anliegen\nSaugeil!\" Das war die freudestrahlende Antwort, die Martin Hofbauer über die Lippen kam, als ihm die Kleine Zeitung mitteilte, dass er ab sofort die Spielberechtigung für alle Meisterschaftsspiele erhält - als erster Spieler mit einer Beinprothese, ausgesprochen vom internationalen Fußballverband FIFA (siehe links unten). Kurzer Rückblick: Nach einer Krebserkrankung musste Hofbauer der rechte Unterschenkel amputiert werden. Dank Beinprothese geht er aber seiner Lieblingsbeschäftigung wieder nach, dem Fußball.\nRichtig überrascht scheint der 20-Jährige aus Gschaid bei Birkfeld nicht zu sein, ganz im Gegenteil. \"Ich habe immer daran geglaubt, dass es klappen wird. Zweifel kenne ich nicht, ich denke immer positiv\", sagt der Oststeirer, der bald wieder mit einer Chemotherapie beginnen muss. \"Auf dem Platz fühle ich mich richtig gut. Für mich geht ein Traum in Erfüllung.\"\nBis es jedoch zum Meisterschaftsdebüt mit der Prothese für den UFC Miesenbach (1. Klasse Ost B) kommt, wird es noch dauern. Eine Grippe setzt Hofbauer noch außer Gefecht. \"Die Vorfreude ist riesengroß. In der Wartezeit haben mich so viele angesprochen, dass sie gegen mich spielen wollen - natürlich ohne zurückzuziehen. Aber da halte ich dagegen, keine Sorge\", sagt Hofbauer lachend.\nAlle für einen\nIn freudiger Erwartung ist auch Miesenbach-Trainer Johannes Schlagbauer. \"Wir brauchen Martin unbedingt. Er macht die Mannschaft besser\", sagt Schlagbauer, der auch das Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl in der Mannschaft lobt. \"Alle sind hinter Martin gestanden, das gibt es nicht so oft. Endlich darf er jetzt tun, was er unbedingt will. Die Freude ist bei allen riesengroß.\"\nEinen großen Anteil, dass die Spielberechtigung erteilt wurde, ist auch Spieler und Vereinskassier Stefan Schneeflock zuzuschreiben. \"Sein Herzblut war entscheidend\", ist sich Hofbauer sicher. Schneeflock ist glücklich: \"Das ist einer der schönsten Tage. Psychologisch ist das für Martin ganz wichtig. Ohne die Kleine Zeitung hätten wir das nie geschafft.\" Was Schneeflock natürlich weiß: \"Einige werden jetzt Gas geben müssen. Das Stammleiberl könnte für einige wackeln, wenn Martin zurück ist.\"\nWas Hofbauer fasziniert, ist die Resonanz, die er in den vergangenen Wochen bekommen hat: \"Es hat gutgetan, dass alle Seiten so hinter mir gestanden sind und mir die Daumen gedrückt haben. Wenn ich einen herausheben möchte, ist es mein Orthopäde Klaus Grainer von der Firma Orthoaktiv. Ohne seine Hilfe wäre das alles nicht möglich.\" Einer der Daumendrücker war übrigens Hofbauers Lieblingsspieler Jürgen Säumel: \"Ich freue mich, dass Martin spielen darf.\"", "url": "http://www.kleinezeitung.at/steiermark/weiz/miesenbach_bei_birkfeld/3303718/martin-hofbauer-darf-spielen.story", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20130610045728/http://www.kleinezeitung.at/steiermark/weiz/miesenbach_bei_birkfeld/3303718/martin-hofbauer-darf-spielen.story" }, { "language": "de", "title": "FIFA erlaubt Steirer Einsatz mit Prothese", "text": "FIFA erlaubt Steirer Einsatz mit Prothese\nMartin Hofbauer hat laut Medienberichten ein bahnbrechendes Urteil erstritten: Der 20-jährige Steirer darf nach einem Beschluss der FIFA als weltweit erster Fußballer mit einer Unterschenkel-Prothese an allen Bewerbsspielen teilnehmen.\nDer 20-Jährige aus Gschaid im Bezirk Weiz, dem nach einer Krebserkrankung der rechte Unterschenkel amputiert werden musste, spielt in seiner Heimat in der 1. Klasse Ost B für den UFC Miesenbach. Nach seiner Krankheit wurde via steirischem Landesverband beim österreichischem Fußball-Verband (ÖFB) um Spielgenehmigung angefragt. Dieser wiederum wandte sich an die FIFA, die letztlich das nicht nur für Hofbauer so erfreuliche Urteil fällte.\nBeispielgebend für seine Sportart\nDenn ähnlich wie seinerzeit der mittlerweile weltberühmte Leichtathlet Oscar Pistorius ist Hofbauer beispielgebend für seine Sportart. Der südafrikanische 400-m-Läufer hatte sich im Mai 2008 die Genehmigung, mit Prothese bei Nichtbehinderten starten zu dürfen, vor dem Internationalen Sportsgerichtshof (CAS) erstritten und trat mittlerweile auch bei den Olympischen Spielen 2012 in London an. Sein Leben nahm allerdings eine drastische Wende, er wird sich vor Gericht wegen Mordes an seiner Freundin verantworten müssen.\nHofbauer musste für sein Startrecht nicht den ganzen Instanzenweg gehen, die FIFA-Kommission für Sportmedizin ebnete dem Landmaschinentechniker aus Gschaid den Weg zur Fortführung seiner Leidenschaft, dem Fußball. „Ich freue mich, wenn ich mit meinem Fall Vorreiter für alle Fußballer mit Behinderung werden würde“, sagte Hofbauer gegenüber dem Nachrichtenmagazin „Focus“.\nDie Spielgenehmigung wurde mit der Auflage erteilt, dass durch die Prothese keine erhöhte Eigen- und Fremdgefährdung vorliegt. Der Referee muss außerdem die Prothese vor Spielbeginn überprüfen.\n„Zweifel kenne ich nicht“\n„Ich habe immer daran geglaubt, dass es klappen wird. Zweifel kenne ich nicht, ich denke immer positiv“, sagte der 20-Jährige zur „Kleinen Zeitung“.\nNach Vorliegen aller nötigen Atteste hat Hofbauer nun seit 3. Mai die Freigabe, wieder für seinen Club zu spielen. Es wird freilich keine Premiere für Hofbauer, denn er hat bereits mit Prothese für Miesenbach gespielt. „Gemerkt hat es niemand.

À moins de 12 heures de l'échéance, le dirigeant de la majorité démocrate au Sénat Harry Reid a confirmé qu'il avait conclu un compromis avec le chef du groupe républicain, Mitch McConnell. Harry Reid a salué un \"accord historique, consensuel pour rouvrir l'État et éviter un défaut sur les factures de la nation\". \"Le compromis que nous avons conclu donnera à notre économie la stabilité dont elle a désespérément besoin\", a-t-il dit. Selon Mitch McConnell, le vote du Sénat pourrait avoir lieu dès mercredi.\nUn important élu républicain a confirmé que la Chambre des représentants américaine votera mercredi sur le texte de compromis. \"Oui\", a répondu Pete Sessions, président républicain de la commission chargée des procédures de la Chambre, interrogé sur l'éventualité d'un vote dès mercredi.\nL'accord relèverait le plafond de la dette jusqu'au 7 février et rouvrirait jusqu'au 15 janvier les agences fédérales partiellement fermées depuis le 1er octobre, tout en convoquant une commission pour négocier un budget pour 2014. Un sprint procédural devrait s'enclencher mercredi, la Chambre des représentants étant censée adopter tout texte de loi dans les mêmes termes avant promulgation par le président Barack Obama. La coopération entière du président républicain de la Chambre des représentants, John Boehner, et de 100 % des sénateurs, y compris les champions du Tea Party Ted Cruz et Mike Lee, sera requise.\nPossible perte du triple A américain ?\nMais Ted Cruz a fait savoir qu'il ne bloquerait pas le cheminement du texte. \"Il n'y a rien à gagner\" dans une motion visant à retarder la tenue des votes, a-t-il dit aux journalistes. L'entrée dans une zone aussi inédite que dangereuse était promise à partir de mercredi minuit (jeudi 4 heures GMT) à la première économie mondiale, avec un risque de défaut de paiement à court terme faute de capacité d'emprunt. Dès avant l'annonce de l'accord au Sénat, les marchés financiers avaient toutefois refusé de croire à ce scénario catastrophe.\nLa Bourse de New York s'envolait à la mi-séance mercredi, tandis que celle de Tokyo a terminé quasi stable. Francfort et Londres ont fini en hausse, en dépit de l'avertissement lancé mardi par l'agence Fitch qui a annoncé qu'elle envisageait d'abaisser la note de la dette souveraine des États-Unis, actuellement la meilleure possible à AAA. Selon le représentant Charlie Dent, John Boehner ne devrait pas opposer de résistance et acceptera de soumettre au vote de la Chambre tout compromis sénatorial, malgré l'opposition d'une partie de sa majorité. Il devra alors s'appuyer partiellement sur des voix démocrates.\nPression du Tea Party\n\"Je suis absolument certain que le président de la Chambre fera tout ce qu'il faut pour préserver la note de crédit des États-Unis d'Amérique\", a déclaré mercredi le républicain Scott Rigell. John Boehner, pris en tenaille entre sa volonté affichée de ne pas laisser un défaut de paiement se produire et la pression du Tea Party hostile au compromis, a jusqu'ici refusé d'organiser une consultation sans le soutien de sa majorité. Le dénouement en cours marque une lourde défaite pour la stratégie qu'il a jusqu'ici poursuivie.\nMercredi matin, son porte-parole Michael Steel a affirmé qu'aucune décision n'a été prise sur quand ou comment un possible accord au Sénat pourrait être soumis à un vote à la Chambre\". Faute d'accord sur le budget fédéral pour le nouvel exercice, les agences gouvernementales américaines tournent au ralenti depuis le 1er octobre. Des centaines de milliers de fonctionnaires ont été mis en congés forcés sans solde, paralysant progressivement des pans entiers de l'activité. En août 2011, lors d'une crise similaire, un accord politique avait déjà été scellé deux jours avant la date-butoir, et adopté définitivement par le Congrès à quelques heures seulement de l'heure limite.\nUne adoption de la loi dans la soirée ?\nPlusieurs élus américains comptaient mercredi sur une adoption dans la soirée par le Congrès de la loi relevant le plafond de la dette et rouvrant l'Etat fédéral américain. \"Le Sénat va probablement voter (mercredi) en fin d'après-midi, début de soirée, mais l'horaire exact reste à déterminer\", a indiqué un collaborateur du groupe démocrate du Sénat.\nSelon cette source, le Sénat votera probablement avant la Chambre sur le texte de compromis scellé mercredi entre les sénateurs Harry Reid et Mitch McConnell. La Chambre devra ensuite se prononcer sur le texte de loi pour son adoption définitive. Le président Barack Obama devra alors le promulguer.\nLes républicains de la Chambre sont convoqués à une réunion de groupe à 15 heures (21 heures, heure française) pour se faire présenter le texte et avaliser la marche à suivre. Le soutien du groupe démocrate de la Chambre, fort de 200 élus sur 432, semblait assuré, selon leur chef de file, Nancy Pelosi.\n\"Inutile de dire que quand nous recevrons la législation, que ce soit ce soir ou demain matin, mais j'espère que ce sera ce soir, la loi sera adoptée\", a-t-elle dit sur la chaîne MSNBC. \"Je suis certain que nous y parviendrons (...) plus tard aujourd'hui (mercredi)\", a déclaré Mitch McConnell plus tôt en officialisant le compromis. \"Il devrait y avoir un vote d'ici ce soir\", a quant à lui déclaré le représentant républicain James Lankford, membre du groupe de dirigeants de la Chambre, sur la chaîne CNBC.\nJeudi soir, dernier carat\nDe son côté, la Maison Blanche a affirmé mercredi que l'échéance du relèvement du plafond de la dette était jeudi soir et non à la première heure de cette journée. Le porte-parole de la présidence, Jay Carney, a pour la première fois précisé quand l'Etat fédéral américain aurait épuisé sa capacité à emprunter: \"la fin de la journée\" de jeudi.\nLes médias s'étaient jusqu'ici focalisés sur l'heure de mercredi à minuit (jeudi à 6 heures, heure française) comme l'échéance après laquelle la première économie mondiale entrait dans une zone dangereuse, synonyme d'un risque de défaut de paiement à court terme.\nJay Carney, lors de son point de presse quotidien, a prévenu que passé jeudi soir, \"s'il n'y a pas de solution et que le plafond de la dette n'est pas relevé (par le Congrès), alors nous ne pouvons plus compter que sur nos liquidités pour faire face à nos obligations\".\nBarack Obama félicite les sénateurs\nBarack Obama félicite les dirigeants du Sénat pour être parvenus à un compromis sur la dette et le budget, et appelle le Congrès à l'entériner \"rapidement\", a annoncé mercredi le porte-parole du président des États-Unis. \"Le président pense que l'accord entre les deux partis annoncé par les dirigeants du Sénat rouvrira les services de l'État et écartera la menace économique qui a déjà été préjudiciable à la classe moyenne, aux entreprises et à notre statut économique mondial\", a expliqué Jay Carney lors de son point de presse quotidien. \"Le président félicite le dirigeant (de la majorité démocrate Harry) Reid et le chef de la minorité (républicaine Mitch) McConnell pour avoir travaillé de concert à la mise au point de ce compromis, et encourage le Congrès à agir rapidement pour mettre fin à cette paralysie de l'État et protéger la confiance envers la réputation d'emprunteur des États-Unis\", a ajouté Jay Carney.\nBarack Obama \"pense que cet accord parvient à l'objectif nécessaire de rouvrir les services de l'État et à écarter la menace d'un défaut\", selon ce porte-parole. Moins de douze heures avant une échéance cruciale, un compromis a été conclu in extremis mercredi au Sénat américain, laissant espérer un dénouement rapide à la crise qui paralyse Washington depuis plus de deux semaines. Mais tout texte devra encore être adopté dans les mêmes termes par le Sénat, où les alliés démocrates de Barack Obama sont majoritaires, et la Chambre des représentants, contrôlée par ses adversaires républicains. \"Nous n'avons pas encore vu de texte de loi passer à l'une ou l'autre assemblée à l'heure actuelle\", a relevé Jay Carney.

Cette nouvelle version intervient à un moment où la consommation et le respect de l’environnement deviennent une priorité chez les constructeurs.\nCisco et Broadcom, deux équipementiers importants dans le domaine des réseaux, font partie de ce groupe. Une piste avancée pour cet Ethernet \"vert\" est de diminuer la vitesse du lien en fonction de la charge, et ainsi baisser la consommation globale. Par exemple on pourrait passer de 10 gigabits à 100 mégabits sans perdre le signal quand la connexion est inutilisée, et récupérer automatiquement le plus haut taux de transfert dès qu’on en a besoin. Une technique assez similaire au SpeedStep (ou au PowerNow !) utilisé dans les processeurs.\nUne économie substantielle et un coût faible\nSelon les documents du groupe de travail, passer d’un lien 10 gigabits à un lien 1 gigabit permet de gagner 10 à 20 W par lien, et descendre à 100 mégabits permet de gagner encore 2 à 4 W. L’économie en énergie serait assez importante chez des hébergeurs, par exemple. De plus, les modifications nécessaires sont assez simples à mettre en oeuvre et ne nécessitent pas une modification complète des cartes et des équipements.", "url": "http://www.presence-pc.com/actualite/ethernet-eee-21460/", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20070216180444/http://www.presence-pc.com/actualite/ethernet-eee-21460/" } ]

[ { "language": "en", "title": "Russia and U.S. Report Breakthrough on Arms", "text": "WASHINGTON — The United States and Russia have broken a logjam in arms control negotiations and expect to sign a treaty next month to slash their nuclear arsenals to the lowest levels in half a century, officials in both nations said Wednesday.\nAfter months of deadlock and delay, the two sides have agreed to lower the limit on deployed strategic warheads by more than one-quarter and launchers by half, the officials said. The treaty will impose a new inspection regime to replace one that lapsed in December, but will not restrict American plans for missile defense based in Europe.\nPresident Obama and President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia plan to talk Friday to complete the agreement, but officials said they were optimistic that the deal was nearly done. The two sides have begun preparing for a signing ceremony in Prague on April 8, timing it to mark the anniversary of Mr. Obama’s speech in the Czech capital outlining his vision for eventually ridding the world of nuclear weapons.\nThe new treaty represents perhaps the most concrete foreign policy achievement for Mr. Obama since he took office 14 months ago and the most significant result of his effort to “reset” the troubled relationship with Russia. The administration wants to use it to build momentum for an international nuclear summit meeting in Washington just days after the signing ceremony and a more ambitious round of arms cuts later in his term.\n“This gives a boost” to the administration’s efforts to build better ties to Russia, said Steven Pifer, a top State Department official under President George W. Bush who specialized in Russia and arms control issues. “There’s still a ways to go and there are still difficult issues. But the last six months, it seems to be going pretty well and this adds to the positive in the relationship.”\nMore broadly, the White House hopes the treaty will build on the president’s victory in the fight to overhaul health care, demonstrating progress on both the international and domestic fronts after months of frustration over unmet goals.\nThe new 10-year pact would replace the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty of 1991, or Start, which expired in December, and further extend cuts negotiated in 2002 by Mr. Bush in the Treaty of Moscow. Under the new pact, according to people briefed on it in Washington and Moscow, within seven years each side would have to cut its deployed strategic warheads to 1,550 from the 2,200 now allowed. Each side would cut the total number of launchers to 800 from 1,600 now permitted. The number of nuclear-armed missiles and heavy bombers would be capped at 700 each.\nNeither the White House nor the Kremlin formally announced the agreement on Wednesday, pending the final telephone call between the presidents. A Kremlin official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there was an agreement on the text of the pact, although not all the wording had been given final approval. Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, said, “We’re very close.”\nArms control proponents hailed the progress. Daryl G. Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, called it “the first truly post-cold-war nuclear arms reduction treaty.” Richard Burt, a former chief Start negotiator who now heads a disarmament advocacy group called Global Zero, said that the two presidents “took a major step toward achieving their goal of global zero.”\nThe breakthrough ended nearly a year of tumultuous negotiations that dragged on far longer than anticipated. The two sides quarreled over verifying compliance, sharing telemetry and limiting missile defense programs. Mr. Obama restructured Mr. Bush’s plans for an antimissile shield in Europe, but Moscow objected to the new version as well and wanted restrictions. Mr. Obama refused. The two presidents cut through disagreements during a telephone call on March 13.\nThe treaty will go for ratification to the legislatures in both countries, and the politics of Senate ratification could be tricky, coming at a polarized moment with a midterm election on the horizon. Republican senators have already expressed concern that Mr. Obama might make unacceptable concessions. Ratification in the Senate requires 67 votes, meaning Mr. Obama would need support from Republicans.\nSenators Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Jon Kyl of Arizona, the Republican leaders, wrote Mr. Obama last week warning him that ratification “is highly unlikely” if the treaty contained any binding linkage between offensive weapons and missile defense, reminding him of his position “that missile defense is simply not on the table.”\nAdministration officials describing the draft treaty said its preamble recognized the relationship between offensive weapons and missile defense, but that the language was not binding. The treaty establishes a new regime of inspections, but the American monitoring team that was based at the Votkinsk missile production factory until Start expired would not be allowed to return on a permanent basis.\nRussian analysts said Moscow was happy to have reduced what it saw as the overly intrusive inspection regime mandated by Start but disappointed not to have secured restrictions on missile defense. The military was pressuring the Kremlin not to agree to arms reductions without limits on the American missile shield, even though both Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama have described it as aimed at Iran, not Russia. In the end, the Kremlin overruled the military because it wanted a foreign policy achievement. “The military does not have the influence that it did during Soviet times,” said Anton V. Khlopkov, director of the Center for Energy and Security Studies in Moscow. “Back then, the military people, if they didn’t run, they were among those who led the arms control negotiations from the Soviet side. Now, they have less of a role.”\nVladimir Z. Dvorkin, a retired major general and arms control adviser, said Moscow would retain the ability to scrap the new treaty if American missile defenses became a threat. “If, for example, the U.S. unilaterally deploys considerable amounts of missile defense, then Russia has the right to withdraw from the agreement because the spirit of the preamble has been violated,” he said.\nMr. Obama met at the White House on Wednesday with Senators John Kerry of Massachusetts and Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, the senior Democrat and Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to brief them on the negotiations. Mr. Kerry later said he would hold hearings between Easter and Memorial Day on the history of arms control and promised action by year’s end. “I assured the president that we strongly support his efforts and that if the final negotiations and all that follows go smoothly, we will work to ensure that the Senate can act on the treaty this year,” Mr. Kerry said.", "url": "http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/25/world/europe/25start.html?partner=rss&emc=rss", "archive_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20100327074524/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/25/world/europe/25start.html?partner=rss&emc=rss" }, { "language": "en", "title": "Russia, U.S. near arms control deal", "text": "Washington (CNN) -- Talks between Russia and the United States on a new arms-control agreement are \"almost at the finish line,\" a State Department official said Wednesday.\nDiscussions between the two sides continue on technical details but a deal is \"really close,\" said State Department spokesman Mark Toner. \"I would describe it as steady progress toward the end goal,\" he said. \"We are extremely close but I'm not going to characterize a deal on that.\"\nThe agreement would replace the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) arms-control agreement between the United States and Russia, which expired in December 2009.\nPresident Barack Obama hopes to talk to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev about the deal in the \"next several days,\" White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Wednesday.\nThe Czech government has agreed to host the signing of a new arms-control agreement between Russia and the United States in Prague once it is complete, a Czech Foreign Ministry spokesman told CNN.\nThe United States made the request, said Filip Kanda, the spokesman.

Under Start, which expired in December, each side is permitted a maximum of 2,200 warheads and 1,600 launch vehicles.\nMedvedev and Obama have made signing a new nuclear arms accord a priority as they try to repair ties that sank to a post-Cold War low under Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush.\nBreakthrough\n“This is a major diplomatic and domestic political breakthrough for the president at a critical time,” said Stephen Flanagan, vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.\n“While the actual reductions achieved would be modest,” he said, it suggests a “reset in relations with Moscow is starting to pay some dividends” that may lead to more weapons reductions in years ahead.\nWhile Gibbs and the Kremlin official refused to confirm the timing for a signing ceremony, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in Moscow last week that the former Cold War foes may sign the treaty in early April.\nOfficials in Prague have been notified that the two leaders are seeking to sign the accord in the Czech capital.\n“We were asked whether we’d agree to host the meeting in Prague when negotiations are finished and we agreed,” ministry spokesman Filip Kanda said earlier today. Czech President Vaclav Klaus was informed about the plans for a summit there today by the Russian ambassador, his office said.\nPrague Speech\nIt was in Prague last April where, Obama pledged during a public speech outside Hradcany Castle to push for ratification of the 13-year-old Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and pursue the goal of a nuclear-free world.\n“The United States will take concrete steps towards a world without nuclear weapons,” Obama said in his April 5 speech. “To put an end to Cold War thinking, we will reduce the role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy, and urge others to do the same.”\n“I would anticipate that when we have something to sign, it will be in Prague,” Gibbs said.\nMedvedev is scheduled to visit neighboring Slovakia on April 6-7, the office of Slovak President Ivan Gasparovic said in an e-mailed statement.\nObama and Medvedev’s meeting may come before the U.S. president’s summit on nuclear security April 12-13 in Washington. Flanagan said having a weapons reduction treaty in hand may help Obama push his broader non-proliferation agenda at the meeting.\nConsultations\nObama held private briefings today with Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John F. Kerry, a Democrat, and the panel’s top Republican, Senator Richard Lugar, on the arms- reduction talks. They will play key roles in Senate ratification of any treaty. A treaty also would be subject to approval by the Russian parliament.\n“I assured the president that we strongly support his efforts, and that if the final negotiations and all that follows go smoothly, we will work to ensure that the Senate can act on the treaty this year,” Kerry, of Massachusetts, said in a statement afterward.\nHe said the committee will begin hearings sometime after Congress returns from its Easter holiday break.\n--With assistance from Lenka Ponikelska and Peter Laca in Prague, Julianna Goldman and Viola Gienger in Washington and Lyubov Pronina in Moscow.
